Most Recent Complaints
KICKSTAND SENSOR FELL OFF OF BIKE CAUSING THE BIKE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. DUCATI STATES THEY HAD A RECALL FOR THIS FOR MY YEAR BIKE, ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL DB. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
REAR BRAKES COMPLETELY FADE AND ARE USELESS OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS. BLEEDING THE BRAKE LINE WORKS FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IS TIMELY AND COSTLY. THE CURRENT SET UP ALLOWS EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST AND POSSIBLY CATALYTIC CONVERTER TO BOIL BRAKE FLUID. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT MAY REQUIRE INTERVENTION. *TR
THERE IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE BECOMING UNUSABLE. THE BRAKE LINE PASSES MUCH TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH VAPORIZES THE BRAKE FLUID AND CREATES A GAS POCKET IN THE LINE. THIS RENDERS THE BRAKES UNUSABLE. DRAINING THE LINE REQUIRES REMOVING THE REAR WHEEL (A HUGE JOB ON A DUCATI) AND CALIPER. THE PROBLEM RETURNS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THEY HAVE SERVICED IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT EACH TIME IT IMMEDIATELY FAILS AGAIN. IT IS VERY UNSAFE.
