Checking Brake Pads For Wear - Ducati SUPERSPORT Owner's Manual

Clutch system
If the control lever has exceeding play 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 an authorized workshop to have the
system inspected and air drained out.
Warning
Brake fluid level will increase as clutch plate friction
material wears down. Do not exceed specified level
(3 mm/0.12 in. above minimum level).
Checking brake pads for wear (fig. 28)
Front brake
To facilitate inspection without removing the pads from
the calipers, brake pads have a wear mark. If the grooves
in the friction material are still visible, the pad is still in
good condition.
Rear brake
The friction material on each pad should be at least 1
mm/0.039 in. thick.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
authorized workshop.
