Checking the brake and clutch fluid level
The level must not fall below the MIN mark on the
corresponding reservoir (fig. 63) (the figure shows the
front and rear brake fluid reservoirs).
If level drops below the limit, air can get into the circuit
and make the system ineffective.
Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the
intervals specified in the routine maintenance table (see
Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop.
Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch hoses be
renewed every four years.
Brake system
If there is excessive play on the brake lever or pedal,
and brake pads are still in good condition, contact a
Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the
system inspected and air bled 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.
