Main Maintenance Operations

Changing the air filter

Important
For air filter servicing, contact a Ducati Authorized
Service Centre.

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level

(fig. 57)
The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the
respective reservoirs.
If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit, thus
impairing the efficiency of the system.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at
the intervals specified in the routine maintenance table
(see Warranty Booklet) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized
Service Centre.
Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be
renewed every 4 years.
Clutch system
If there is too much play at the clutch lever and the
motorcycle jumps or stops when a gear is engaged, this
indicates air in the system. Contact a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre to have the system inspected
and the air bled from the system.
Warning
The clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to rise as
the friction material on the clutch plates wears out. Do not
exceed the specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).
