Checking brake and clutch fluid level

Fluid level should never fall below the MIN mark on

each reservoir (fig. 29). If level drops below the limit, air

might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the

system involved.

Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at

the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart

by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop.

Important

It is recommended all brake and clutch tubes be

changed every four years.

Clutch system

If the control lever has exceeding play and the

transmission snatches or jams as you try to engage a

gear, it means that there is air in the circuit. Contact a

Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the

system inspected and air drained out.

Warning

Clutch fluid level in the reservoir tends to increase

as the clutch plates friction material wears out. Do not

exceed specified level (3 mm/0.12 in. above minimum

level).

Brake system

If you find exceeding play on 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 any air drained out of the circuit.

Warning

Do not spill any brake and clutch fluid on the

paintwork or on plastic parts or they will damage.

to severe injuries.
