Change The Air Filter; Checking Brake And Clutch Fluid Level - Ducati Monster 1200 Owner's Manual

Attention
Make sure the engine is cold before proceeding.
Attempting to change the coolant with the engine hot
could lead to burns from hot coolant or scalding
steam.

Change the air filter

Important
Have the air filter maintenance performed at a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center.

Checking brake and clutch fluid level

The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the
respective reservoirs.
If level drops below the limit, air might get into the
circuit and affect the operation of the system
involved.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and
changed at the intervals specified in the scheduled
maintenance table contained in the Warranty
Booklet; please contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized
Service Center.
Important
All brake and clutch lines should be changed
every four years.
CLUTCH SYSTEM
If the control lever has exceeding clearance and the
transmission snatches or jams as you try to engage
a gear, it means that there is air in the circuit. Contact
your Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center to
have the system inspected and air drained out.
Attention
Clutch fluid level will increase as clutch plate
friction material wears down. Do not exceed the
specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).
BRAKE SYSTEM
If you note too much play on brake lever or pedal and
brake pads are still in good condition, contact your
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Center to have
the system inspected and any air drained out of the
circuit.
