I've done the search, read the threads, and everything else in regards to the workshop manual. So, that being said I'd like to put it all in one place and do a better job of explaining than the previous posts by others. I'll go through to help out the guys that go the torrent route, not the ebay route.

Get the torrent. If you've never used torrents before, you'll have to get a program to download it. I use uTorrent, but there are others. You can download the torrent here just be sure to ONLY click "get this torrent" not any of the big DOWNLOAD or PLAY NOW crap: Ducati Panigale 1199 Manuals (download torrent) - TPB

If you're using windows you should be good to go and be able to open. BUT if you're on a mac it'll take a little more work. There was a previous post that tried to explain but it looked like foreign language to me. I eventually figured it out and dumbed it down. Screenshots included to answer any questions about it being legit.

Step 1:
Click on the ISO file and open the "Workshop" folder. I just went ahead and moved the "Workshop" folder to my desktop.

Step 2:
Select your model.

Step 3:
Open "localhost+9081"

Step 4:
Open "images"

Step 5:
Open either "menu.html" or "index.html"

It opens in your default browser.

The difference in opening the index or menu file is menu will have one window for the sections and when you click on a selection it will open it in a new window/tab. Opening index will have the sections on the left margin with the procedures on the right.

Excellent! Followed the instructions to the letter and works perfectly when you open the Index file in Chrome as ScrapperX mentioned above.

Pretty funny ads on the client download page, I haven't used torrents in years and it's pretty obvious now that .... is the dominant content!
 
Got the torrent (thanks to those who are sharing)

I am having an issue opening 80% of the files (ones that are Unix executable files).. I am able to open the html files with safari..

Any idea guys?

Download chrome
 
Dear Gents

Could someone please see the torrent as it is dead unfortunately. Any chance somebody may post a link to google drive or some other alternative download location ?
Thx.
 
Guys the torrent is dead unfortunately. Can someone host a google drive download or any other source. Much appreciated!
 
I had to install torrent-software and a driver (Virtual CloneDrive) to mount the iso on win7, but it is the effort worth. content is complete and links are working.
Much better than a flat, incomplete pdf*.
Thank you for the good job and sharing.


*I advise against acrobat web capture, this tool is not suitable for complex contents(or just crap). Better would be a webcrawler like httrack(if someone want to do that for the 1299;-)
 
You didn't have to do that if you would've read the post above yours first lol.
 
Yes and No, generally i like the open HTML structure more. It's easier to navigate, print single chapters,etc. +1 for HTML.
And easier to find and name failures. I've found 24 missing pages (0-byte HTML files)(to correct myself).

On the other hand, setting up a web-crawler is more complicated than creating a PDF. And having a PDF is better than 'Call your ducati dealer'.

Thanks for sharing.
