Dear Dealers,
With continuous monitoring and updating of the product in question, we found that the latest
quick shift management software (only installed on part of the Multistrada fleet) may not
have been calibrated correctly. Therefore, we have decided to update the engine ECU on all
concerned motorcycles.
This quick update concerns only a portion of the Multistrada V4 models in circulation;
always check the list of VINs involved through DCS. The update is mandatory.
Your cooperation is extremely important so that the update is carried out on all vehicles
involved and, whenever possible, have the Client wait during the update, which requires
careful planning.
Clients included in the Ducati database will be informed centrally through push notifications
from the MyDucati app or via e-mail. In the next few days, we ask your kind cooperation in
contacting by phone the Clients in the list available in DCS who do not make an appointment
on their own.
The main objective is to update all affected motorcycles quickly. In an effort to create as
little trouble as possible to the Clients, we have decided to provide a small compensation in
the form of some additional inspections. These inspections will be reimbursed through the
WCRC claim for an additional
of labor.
NOTE
For vehicles still under warranty, in addition to the ECU software update, it will be
required to check fluid levels, chain tension, tire pressure and brake pad wear. The
labor reimbursement time is increased by
in comparison to the software
update only.
WARNING
After updating, an engine warm-up cycle must be performed (refer to points 5 and
6 of the instruction).

If during the update the vehicle turns out to be already updated, we ask you to go
ahead and submit the WCRC in order to certify that the ECU software has been
updated.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with Ducati Performance exhaust are also included in the this
Service Campaign, therefore the update will be displayed by DDS 3.0 for the
installation of the new dedicated Ducati Performance software.

5. After the update it is necessary to perform an engine warm-up cycle, at idle speed, until
the cooling fan tripping temperature is reached.
6. Perform a Key OFF with a 2-minute wait before a new Key ON to allow the air/fuel
adaptive parameters to be learned correctly.
7. Disconnect the vehicle from the DDS 3.0 and the workshop power supply unit.
8. ONLY for vehicles still within the warranty period, carry out the following checks.
Final drive chain stretch check
NOTE
For a correct measurement of final drive chain stretch, we remind you that it
is necessary to tension the upper or lower section, depending on accessibility,
by engaging a low gear and turning the rear wheel with appropriate force,
clockwise or anticlockwise respectively.
a) Aim tool part no.889450134 as shown in the figure by inserting the "fork" end onto one
of the rollers of the chain tensioned section.

b) Insert the other end of tool part no.889450134 between two consecutive rollers and
take the measurement in 4 points (by rotating the rear wheel):
•

should it not be possible to insert the end, then the tool will show the green color,
indicating that the chain has a length close to the nominal value.

•

if only one part of the end can be inserted, then the tool will show the yellow color,
indicating a chain stretch percentage between 0.7% and 1.2%.

•

If the end can be fully inserted, then the tool will show the red color, indicating a chain
stretch percentage equal to or higher than 1.2%, requiring the replacement.

Final drive chain tension check
a) Slowly move the motorcycle until you find the position where the upper section of
chain is most tensioned.
b) Set the motorcycle on the side stand.
c) With just a finger, push down the chain at the point of measurement and release.
d) ONLY for MTS V4 STD / S: Position the chain tension measuring gauge (1) between
the slider (2) and the swinging arm (3), fully home on the rear screw (4) and ensure
that the center of the chain pins is between the notches (B) and (C) of the gauge.

e) It is also possible to measure the distance between chain pin center and the slider,
which must be:
-

Multistrada V4 STD and V4 S: A = 33 ÷ 35 mm

-

Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak: A = 27 ÷ 29 mm
