Ducati Panigale V2 955 · 155 hp (2020 to 2024)

Oil and filter change

≈ 12,000 km or 1 year

JASO MA or MA2 approved four-stroke motorcycle oil (JASO MB on scooters): an “energy conserving” car oil makes the wet clutch slip. Change it more often in city use or on track.

Brake fluid

Every 2 years

Replace the fluid in both circuits (and the hydraulic clutch if fitted), whatever the mileage; dark fluid has absorbed moisture.

Fork oil

≈ 30,000 km

Fork oil change and seal check; an oil film on the tubes means a seal needs replacing before it contaminates the brake caliper.

Chain kit (chain and sprockets)

≈ 25,000 km

Lubricate and check the tension every 500 to 1,000 km and after rain; replace chain and sprockets together when the chain no longer holds its tension or the teeth are hooked.

Timing belts

24,000 km or 5 years

Replace both belts at whichever comes first, even on a little-used bike: the rubber ages, and a broken belt destroys the engine.

Spark plugs

Every 24,000 km

Replace the full set; worn plugs raise consumption and cause misfires.

Air filter

Every 24,000 km

Replace more often in dusty conditions.

Valve clearance

Every 24,000 km

Check and adjust if needed, often together with the plugs; too little clearance burns the valves, too much makes the engine noisy.

Coolant

Every 3 years

Replace the coolant and check the hoses and radiator; check the level cold between services.
