Main Maintenance Operations

Checking the brake and clutch fluid level

E
The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on
the respective reservoirs (fig. 33 and fig. 34).
If the level is too low, air can get into the circuit,
thus impairing the efficiency of the system.
To top up or change the brake and clutch fluid at the
intervals specified in the periodic maintenance table
(see Warranty Booklet), contact your Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre.
Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be
renewed every four years.
Brake system
If there is excessive play at the brake lever or pedal even
though the brake pads are still in good condition, contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Service Centre to have the
system inspected and any air expelled from the circuit.

Warning
Brake and clutch fluid can damage paintwork
and plastic parts, so avoid contact. Hydraulic fluid is
corrosive and can cause damage and injuries.
Never mix fluids of different qualities.
Check that the seals are in good condition.
