Most Recent Complaints
REAR BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AT ALL, EVEN IF IM ON A HILL WITH A PASSENGER I HAVE TO USE FRONT BRAKES JUST TO KEEP US IN PLACE AS REAR BRAKE WILL HAVE US GOING BACKWARDS. I HAVE HAD IT BLED MULTIPLE TIMES, IF YOU SMASH IT WITH YOUR FOOT IT WONT EVEN LOCK UP THE REAR WHEEL.
REAR BRAKE IS BASICALLY USELESS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY A DUCATI DEALER $180.00 AN HOUR TO BLEED THE BRAKE FOR ME, SO I DO IT MYSELF. WORKS FOR A BIT, THEN GOES AWAY AND BARELY STOPS THE WHEEL WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE NEW AND DUCATI HAS NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED IT AS A PROBLEM AS IT AFFECTS A FEW DIFFERENT MODELS.
NO REAR BRAKE AT ALL WHEN THE BIKE GET HOT. I ONLY USE FRONT BRAKE. THIS IS NOT JUST ME. ALL MULTI STRADA OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU
