Consumer Description

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT BRAKES ON THE '04 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1000DS. WHEN BRAKING THE BIKE SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY CAUSING A MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS 8 OUT OF 10 STOPS. THERE IS CURRENTLY A FORUM DISCUSSION GOING ON SINCE 2003 REGARDING THE DREADED BRAKE SHUDDER ON THIS BIKE: HTTP://WWW.MULTISTRADA.NET/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=54&HIGHLIGHT=BRAKE+SHUDDER SO FAR ONE MEMBER ON THE FORUM HAS CRASHED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.MULTISTRADA.NET/FORUM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=2694&HIGHLIGHT=BRAKE+CRASH DUCATI IS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE FRONT BRAKES OF THIS BIKE. SO FAR THEY HAVE A NOTICE ISSUED TO DEALERS SAYING TO REPLACE THE BANJO BOLTS WHICH DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RECALL. HOPEFULLY NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND WORK WITH DUCATI TO GET A RECALL ISSUED. *NM
