Checking the brake and clutch fluid level
The level must not fall below the
MIN
mark on the
corresponding reservoirs (fig. 48.1 and fig. 48.2).
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.
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 is harmful to paintwork and
plastic parts, so do not allow it to come into contact with
them. Hydraulic oil is corrosive and can cause damage
and injuries. Never mix oils of different qualities.
Check that the seals are in good condition.
