Ducati Diavel Service Manual: Specific operating strategies

Idle speed

No electric motor is used for idle speed regulation (bypass is modulated instead with the throttle valve), as idle speed control is effected by the ride-by-wire system. Idle speed is maintained by the control unit when the speed drops below a specific threshold and when the clutch lever is operated and/or the gearbox is in neutral. The "clutch lever operated" signal is generated by a button on the lever itself, which interacts directly with the engine control unit. The "gearbox in neutral" signal is generated by the gear sensor connected to the bbs, and is transmitted to the engine control unit via the can line (target idle speed with engine stabilised at operating temperature is 1,350 rpm). The co value for each cylinder, always with engine stabilised at operating temperature, must be within 0.4 And 1.4 In volume percentage.

Throttle valve aperture regimens

The rider may select between four different riding modes (sport, touring, urban) from the tank dashboard and via the handlebar controls. Each riding mode contains three configurable throttle valve opening strategies (the engine control calibration parameters, in other terms the maps for quantity of fuel injected and ignition timing advance, are the same for all). This allows the rider to adapt power delivery and maximum power as follows to suit personal preferences:

Moving off
Disengage the clutch by squeezing the clutch lever. Push down the gear change lever firmly with the tip of your foot to engage first gear. Raise the engine revs by turning the throttle twistgrip while gradually releasing the clutch lever. The motorcycle will start moving. Release the ...

Injectors
Introduction The injectors used on the diavel are top feed units, meaning that fuel is fed into the top of the injector itself. The injectors contain a winding which raises a needle when electrically energised. This opens the atomiser nozzle, through which pressurised fuel is dispensed, gener ...
