Main Maintenance Operations E 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. fig. 57 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). Important It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be renewed every 4 years. 67
