Rear-view mirrors (fig. 37)
The rear view mirrors of your motorcycle are made up of
two parts held together by a special inner spring. This
spring counters mirror rotation so the mirror will not smash
the headlight fairing if hit accidentally. The spring then
moves the mirror back to its original position.
Note
Never fold the rear-view mirrors: the inner spring is
for safety only.
Important
If either of the mirror parts comes off, have the
mirror repaired or replaced by a Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Workshop.
Warning
Never ride with a missing rear view mirror: the
inability to see the traffic behind you may lead to severe
accidents.
The mirrors have bifocal lenses that offer a wider range of
vision, with no blind spots:
A) inner area = normal view
B) outer area = magnified view.
Warning
What you see in the mirror is actually closer to you
than it appears in the mirror view, even more so when
looking at the magnifying outer area (B).
