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.
Checking the brake pads for wear
(fig. 60)
Front brake
The brake pads are marked with wear indicators so that they
can be checked without removing them from the calipers.
If the grooves in the pad friction material are still visible,
the pad is still in good condition.
Rear brake
The thickness of the friction material on each pad must be at
least 1 mm.
Important
Have the brake pads replaced by a Ducati Dealer or
Authorized Service Centre.
