Checking the brake pads for wear

Front brake
The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they
can be checked without removing them from the calipers.
If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible,
the pad is still in good condition.
Rear brake
The thickness of the friction material on each pad must be
at least 1 mm.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre.
