Main maintenance operations
Changing the air filter
Important
Have the air filter maintenance performed at a
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
Checking brake and clutch fluid level
The levels should not fall below the MIN marks on the
respective reservoirs.
If level drops below the limit, air can get into the
circuit and make the system ineffective.
Fluids must be topped up and changed at the
intervals specified in the scheduled maintenance
table reported in the Warranty Booklet; please
contact a Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre.
Important
It is recommended that all brake and clutch lines
be changed every four years.
CLUTCH SYSTEM
If the control lever has excessive play and the
transmission snatches or jams when engaging a gear,
this indicates that air is in the circuit. Contact your
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have
the system inspected and air drained out.
Warning
Clutch fluid level will increase as clutch plate
friction material wears down. Do not exceed the
specified level (3 mm above the minimum level).
BRAKE SYSTEM
If you find excessive play on brake lever or pedal and
brake pads are still in good condition, contact your
Ducati Dealer or authorised Service Centre to have
the system inspected and any air drained out of the
circuit.
