Ducati 748 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Spare Parts Index

If you’ve ever ordered a part for your Ducati 748 and gotten the wrong one – a clutch cover that doesn’t fit, a gasket with the wrong bolt pattern – you know the frustration. Wasted time, shipping costs, and a bike that sits. The fix is having the factory Ducati 748 Parts Catalog open on your bench. It’s 175 pages of exploded diagrams and OEM part numbers. I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years, and I can tell you: aftermarket parts lists are guesswork. This catalog is the real thing.

What’s Inside – 44 Sections of Component Breakdown

Every major assembly on the 748 is covered. You get the gearbox (CAMBIO, page 26), clutch (FRIZIONE, page 32), cylinder-piston group (CILINDRI – PISTONI, page 42), and cylinder head (TESTA, page 66). The catalog doesn’t stop at the engine – there’s front and rear brakes (pages 108 and 112), suspension (page 124), wiring (page 76), and even the fairing (CARENATURA, page 154). Each section shows an exploded view with numbered callouts. Match the number to the parts list, and you’ve got the correct Ducati part code.

Stick with Factory Part Numbers

I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs list a part with a reference that crosses to three different bikes. That’s how you end up with a 916 piston in a 748 crankcase. This OEM catalog uses Ducati’s own codes. The OCR excerpt at the beginning spells it out: “order exactly the right spare parts” and “specify the motorcycle’s serial number.” That serial number is stamped on the steering head. Without it, you’re guessing. With the catalog, you cross-reference the “f.m.” (until VIN) and “d.m.” (from VIN) notes and land on the right part every time.

175 Pages – Not a Service Manual, But a Parts Bible

Let’s be clear: this is a parts catalog, not a workshop manual. You won’t find torque specs or assembly sequences here. What you will find is every fastener, seal, bearing, and gasket that Ducati used on the 748. For procedures, you need the Ducati 748 916 Workshop Manual. But for ordering – this is the only document that has the factory-correct part numbers. That’s 175 pages of no-guesswork reference.

Audience Fit – Who Needs This Catalog?

If you’re restoring a 748 in your home garage, this saves you from buying the wrong clutch cable or missing a rare oil line clip. If you run a shop that services Ducatis, having the factory parts index on hand means you can order faster and avoid returns. Even if you own a different Ducati, the same logic applies – check out Ducati 1198 2011 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM Spare Parts List or Ducati 696 2013 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts List for your model. The point is: OEM part numbers are the only ones you can trust.

Source Validity – OEM Print, Not a Copy

This file is the original Ducati PDF. The OCR excerpt shows the official multilingual layout – Italian, English, French, German, Spanish – exactly as Ducati printed it. No third-party reinterpretation. No condensed version. The part numbering system follows Automotive Industry Overview standards, and the engine components reference Internal Combustion Engine fundamentals. If you want to be sure you’re getting the real deal, this is it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. Torque values are in the workshop manual. For that, see the Ducati 748 916 Workshop Manual.

Can I use this to rebuild my engine?

You can use it to list every gasket, bearing, and piston ring you need. But assembly procedures require a separate workshop manual. The catalog gives you the part numbers, not the steps. Without the service manual, you’ll be guessing clearances and torque.

Are the part numbers specific to my bike’s VIN?

Yes. The catalog references serial number ranges. On page 1, it tells you to stamp the steering head number. With that, you cross-reference the “f.m.” and “d.m.” notes. That’s how you get the exact part for your production batch.

Is this catalog in English?

Yes. It’s multilingual – Italian, English, French, German, Spanish. The English section is clearly marked. All part codes are language-independent.
