NHTSA Complaint #11419433 — 2012 DUCATI MULTISTRADA

The rear brake has been inadequate since new. Pedal has been inconsistent with master cylinder requiring frequent bleeding. This has been a persistent long term problem. Even so, and in consideration that this is just the rear brake and therefore of lesser power, rear braking power is minimal to virtually none and not up to the standard of the front brakes or, in my opinion, other competitive bikes. This is a well known problem with Multistradas but I did not know I could report it directly to an authority. The front brake system is very good as expected but the rear brake is bad even considering it's inherent disadvantage of being at the rear. Mine hasn't really worked for years.
