2006 Ducati Paul Smart 1000 LE Service Manual

• Coverage and document identity: A 514-page bilingual Italian/English PDF of the Ducati factory workshop manual for the PaulSmart 1000 i.e., M.Y. 2006, edition 00, with separate identification and equipment information for European and US-market motorcycles.
• Engine and top-end work: Covers complete engine removal and refitting, oil-pump and oil-cooler service, valve-clearance inspection and adjustment, timing checks, belt and tensioner work, camshaft inspection, and cylinder-head, valve, rocker-arm, cylinder, and piston overhaul.
• Clutch, gearbox, and bottom end: Details dry-clutch disassembly and inspection, clutch-cover service, primary-drive backlash checks, gear-selector and gearbox-shaft overhaul, flywheel/generator work, crankcase splitting, shaft shimming, main-bearing inspection, and connecting-rod repair.
• Chassis and running gear: Includes spoke-and-nipple wheel inspection, wheel-bearing replacement, fork and shock removal/refitting, steering-head and swingarm checks, hydraulic brake service, frame inspection, final-drive wear checks, and sprocket replacement.
• Factory diagnostics: Uses the Ducati Diagnostic System (DDS) for stored-fault retrieval, live engine data, active component tests, throttle-position reset, cylinder synchronization, timing-belt tension, oil and fuel pressure checks, compression testing, charging-system tests, and guided diagnosis.
• Electrical and visual reference: Provides 14 wiring-diagram plates, a 47-item wiring key, wire-color codes, fusebox identification, harness-routing views, and chapter-opening exploded parts views for parts identification during repair.

Built around the 992 cc air-cooled 90-degree L-twin, six-speed gearbox, dry multi-plate clutch, Marelli 5AM2 engine control unit, and belt-driven two-valve cylinder heads, this is the model-specific Ducati workshop publication rather than a general SportClassic owner's book. Ducati states that it was prepared for technical personnel at Authorized Service Centres and that the operations require experienced, skilled technicians. It is best suited to professional or advanced workshop users with the required measuring equipment, DDS access, and Ducati special tools.

Model and Market Coverage

The identification section shows the European and US frame-number formats, the 2006 model-year position within each format, and the corresponding engine stamp layouts. It identifies the European engine type as ZDM 992A2 and the US engine type as WAB. Market-specific repair content is equally clear: the exhaust chapter explains the three-way catalytic system for EU motorcycles, while a US-only section covers the evaporative canister system, including removal and refitting.

Repair and Diagnostic Depth

Routine maintenance includes engine oil and filter service, air-filter work, brake and clutch fluid draining and filling, steering-head adjustment, drive-chain tension, brake-pad replacement, throttle-cable adjustment, and front/rear suspension setup. The engine chapters continue through camshafts, opening and closing rocker gear, cylinders and pistons, the oil system, clutch and primary drive, gearbox, crankcases, and connecting rods. Procedures are taken from the fully assembled motorcycle through repair and return to the assembled condition.

Along with ECU fault reading and clearing, the DDS section documents live parameters, active tests of the fuel pump, ignition coils, injectors, and tachometer, road-test data capture, and measurements made with dedicated pressure, compression, current, and belt-tension sensors. Listed tools include the DDS kit 97900.0215, timing check tool 88713.0123, cylinder-head nut wrench 88713.2676, clutch-cover assembly sleeve 88700.5665, fork-seal tool 88713.1096, and engine/frame support 88713.1515.

Drawings, Specifications, and Scope

The exploded references cover assemblies such as the front wheel and spoke set, hydraulic front brake, fuel tank, throttle body, dry clutch, and gearbox shafts. Engine and frame torque tables are backed by fluid and lubricant data, threadlocker and sealant specifications, service limits, running-clearance tables, suspension settings, brake wear data, and electrical test values.

Internal rebuilding of the Öhlins fork and rear shock is outside this manual's workshop procedure; Ducati directs those problems to an authorized Öhlins Service Center. The cylinder-head section warns that deviating from the specified tightening sequence can stretch the studs and seriously damage the engine. During clutch-cover installation, the specified protective sleeve keeps the primary-drive gear from cutting the oil seal. Use suitable motorcycle lifting equipment and follow the manual's fuel, battery, hydraulic-fluid, ventilation, and hot-engine warnings throughout the repair.
