E
If you find excessive play on brake lever or pedal and brake
pads are still in good condition, contact your Ducati Dealer or
Authorised Service Centre to have the system inspected and
any air drained out of the circuit.
Warning
Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork and
plastic parts, so avoid contact.
Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it may cause damage and lead to
severe injuries.
Never mix fluids of different qualities.
Check seals for proper sealing.

Checking brake pads for wear

Check brake pads wear through the inspection hole in the
callipers. Change both pads if friction material thickness of
even just one pad is about 1 mm.
Warning
Friction material wear beyond this limit would lead to
metal support contact with the brake disc thus
compromising braking efficiency, disc integrity and rider
safety.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
authorised Service Centre.
