Consumer Description

THE REAR BRAKE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. BASICALLY, IT'S USELESS. I HAVE TURNED THE CALIPER UPSIDE DOWN SO THE BLEED NIPPLE IS FACING UPWARDS SO THAT ANY AIR IN THE LINES WILL BE REMOVED WHEN I CHANGE THE FLUID. I HAVE EVEN USED RACING BRAKE FLUID TO NO AVAIL. THE REAR BRAKE HAS TO BE PUMPED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEM IT MAY ENGAGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE SOME DRAG AND SLOWING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE MC, WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER I'M STOPPED, IN MOTION, ON A FREEWAY OR SURFACE ROAD, THE REAR BRAKE WILL NO ENGAGE UNTIL IT HAS BEEN PUMPED UP AND THEN IT IS MARGINAL IN IT'S EFFECT. I TOLD THE DUCATI SHOP ABOUT THIS WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE 600 MILE AND THE 7K MILE SERVICE, AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM. BAD BRAKE, NOT ONLY ON THIS MODEL BUT A LOT OF OTHERS.
