Supersport - Buying & Maintenance Guide
What to check before buying
When inspecting a used 2017 Ducati Supersport, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained Supersport should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any Supersport. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.
