Ducati XDiavel V4 (2025+) Maintenance Schedule and Service Info
This is the maintenance schedule and associated service intervals for the Ducati XDiavel V4 2025. The current XDiavel V4 replaces the earlier XDiavel and is based on the 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. This engine, shared with the Diavel V4 and Multistrada V4, is derived from Ducati’s MotoGP program and is known for its counter-rotating crankshaft, Twin Pulse firing order, and liquid cooling.
Here are all the motorcycles that share the same 1,158cc Granturismo V4 platform:
- Ducati XDiavel V4: sport cruiser with a relaxed, feet-forward riding position
- Ducati Diavel V4: muscle roadster with a more upright stance
- Ducati Multistrada V4: sport-touring and adventure bikes (with different tuning and chassis setup)
So this maintenance schedule applies to the Ducati XDiavel V4 2025, which uses the same core engine and major components as these models, but features its own frame, geometry, and ergos optimized for a sport cruiser role.
The XDiavel V4 departs from the previous L-twin by offering improved comfort and performance, a lighter aluminum monocoque chassis, fully adjustable suspension, and Brembo Stylema brakes. The seat height is set at 770 mm, and ergonomics are updated with forward-mounted controls and a lower, set-back handlebar. Notable updates include a revised rear suspension with increased travel, an upgraded electronics package with 6-axis IMU, and a 6.9-inch color TFT display with full connectivity. The engine features an extended rear-cylinder deactivation system for improved efficiency at low speeds.
Valve clearance service is required every 60,000 km (37,000 miles), and regular maintenance is due every 15,000 km (9,000 miles) or 24 months, whichever comes first. Despite the updates in chassis, brakes, and electronics, these changes do not affect the overall maintenance requirements compared to other Granturismo V4-based models.
The XDiavel V4’s maintenance schedule is consistent with other bikes using the V4 Granturismo engine, and benefits from longer service intervals and reduced complexity compared to earlier XDiavel generations. Routine maintenance tasks and intervals remain unaffected by model variant or regional color options.

Ducati XDiavel V4 Service Intervals
The Ducati XDiavel V4 needs basic service every 9,000 miles (15,000 km) or 24 months, whichever comes first. Change the oil and filter at these intervals, and complete a regular inspection. An annual service check is also recommended every 12 months, even if mileage is low. The first oil change is due at 600 miles (1,000 km) or 6 months from new. The major valve clearance inspection is required every 36,000 miles (60,000 km).
Basic Service Schedule
- First service: 600 miles / 1,000 km or first 6 months
- Oil and filter change: Every 9,000 miles / 15,000 km or 24 months
- Service Check: Every 12 months
- Valve clearance check: 36,000 miles / 60,000 km — major service
General Notes on Serviceability — Ducati XDiavel V4
- The 1,158cc Granturismo V4 engine uses a chain-driven cam and spring valves, not desmodromic, which allows for long 36,000 mile (60,000 km) valve service intervals.
- Major maintenance jobs, including the valve clearance check, require significant disassembly due to the V4 layout, so budget extra time and use a factory manual if attempting at home.
- Routine service items like oil and filter, air filter, and chain are accessible, and the bike uses a traditional chain final drive.
- Coolant both needs replacing every two years; use only the recommended fluids to protect sensitive components.
- Always check for technical updates or recall actions at each service, as Ducati regularly issues firmware and hardware updates.
Ducati XDiavel V4 Maintenance Schedule Tables
Below is the maintenance schedule for the Ducati XDiavel V4. It’s based on the official owner’s manual but reorganized into a clearer, more user-friendly format.
The schedule is divided into four parts:
- Basic maintenance: Routine tasks you can do yourself, to be done every 600 miles / 1,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first.
- First service (Oil Service 1000): Performed after the first 600 miles / 1,000 km or 6 months.
- Annual maintenance checklist (Service Check): Recommended checks to perform every 12 months.
- Long-term service intervals: Tasks that come up less frequently, such as valve clearance checks and other major items.
Basic Maintenance
The following are routine tasks you can do yourself, to be performed every 600 miles / 1,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. If you regularly ride in extreme conditions, such as very damp and muddy roads or dry and dusty environments, components like the drive system, brakes, and air filter may wear out faster than usual. A dirty air filter can damage the engine, so be prepared to service or replace these parts sooner than the standard maintenance schedule suggests.

About the Ducati XDiavel V4 (2025+)
The Ducati XDiavel V4 is Ducati’s answer to the “cruiser” question, but calling it just a cruiser feels like selling it short. This bike sits at the crossroads of muscle and sophistication, with a style that’s pure Italian and an engine that packs a serious punch.
The big story here is the new 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine. If you’ve ever spent time on a Multistrada V4 or Panigale V4, you know the kind of performance this powerful motor can deliver. In the XDiavel V4, it pumps out 168 hp at 10,750 rpm and 93 lb-ft of torque at 7,750 rpm. The result is acceleration that feels nearly endless, whether you’re blasting onto the freeway or gunning for the horizon on a winding backroad. The soundtrack is signature Ducati: aggressive, mechanical, and addictive.
| Feature | XDiavel V4 | Diavel V4 |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 1,158cc V4 Granturismo | Same as XDiavel V4 |
| Power | 168 hp @ 10,750 rpm | Same as XDiavel V4 |
| Torque | 93 lb-ft @ 7,750 rpm | 93 lb-ft @ 7,500 rpm |
| Suspension | Fully adjustable; 50mm fork, monoshock | Same as XDiavel V4 |
| Brakes | Brembo Stylema, dual 330mm front discs | Same as XDiavel V4 |
| Electronics | Full suite: ride modes, cornering ABS, TC, wheelie control, cruise, launch, quickshifter | Same as XDiavel V4 |
| Weight (wet) | ~538 lb (244 kg) | ~520 lb (236 kg) |
| Seat Height | 755 mm (29.7 in) | 790 mm (31.1 in) |
| Riding Position | Forward controls, relaxed cruiser | Mid-controls, sportier/standard stance |
| Other Notes | Chain drive, lowest seat, forward controls, classic cruiser silhouette, more stretched riding position | Shorter wheelbase, mid-controls, sportier handling, lighter feel, “power cruiser” with more standard ergos |
Styling is unmistakably XDiavel, but everything’s turned up a notch. The long, low stance and fat rear tire remain, but the V4’s details are sharper and more purposeful. Ergonomics are relaxed but not lazy, with forward-set footpegs, wide bars, and a surprisingly supportive seat. Even taller riders find the cockpit roomy. This is a cruiser you actually want to corner on.
Ducati didn’t stop with just the engine. The XDiavel V4 gets top-shelf hardware across the board. There’s fully adjustable suspension with an inverted fork up front, and a single-sided swingarm with a monoshock at the rear. Brembo Stylema brakes haul the bike down with authority, while Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires give loads of grip. The handling is far more agile than its size suggests. It’s no Panigale, but it’ll dance through the bends better than most bikes with a 240-section rear tire have any right to.
Tech is another big leap. The XDiavel V4 packs a full electronics suite: ride modes, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, launch control, and a quickshifter. The 5-inch TFT display is bright and clear, and you get keyless ignition, backlit switchgear, and all the connectivity you’d expect at this price point.
For riders comparing the V4 to the outgoing V-twin XDiavel, the difference is night and day. The V4 Granturismo engine means desmo valve adjustments are gone, so you get longer 37,000-mile (60,000 km) major service intervals. Oil changes and general maintenance are still regular Ducati fare, but the V4 platform is a big win for cost and convenience.
