Ducati MULTISTRADA 1000DS S Mode D'emploi page 108

Arrange your luggage or heavy accessories in the lowest
possible position and close to motorcycle centre.
Be sure to secure the luggage to the supports provided on
the motorcycle as firmly as possible. Improperly secured
luggage may affect stability.
Never fix bulky or heavy objects to the handlebar or to the
front mud guard as this would affect stability and cause
danger. E
Do not insert any objects you may need to carry into the
gaps of the frame as these may foul moving parts.
When fitting panniers (available from the Ducati spare
parts service):
arrange personal effects and accessories according to
weight and distribute them evenly in both panniers;
lock the panniers with the key provided.
Make sure the tyres are inflated to the proper pressure
indicated at page 78 and that they are in good condition.
