FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE BIKE (PURCHASE NEW) THE REAR BRAKE WORKS FOR 1-2 MONTHS AND THEN DOES NOT WORK AT ALL (MOVING OR STATIONARY). THE SHOP HAS TO BLEED ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND SUGGESTED THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEM, BUT THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIX PERMANENTLY.

REAR BRAKE GETS MUSHY AND STOPS WORKING AFTER BIKE SITS FOR 1-2 WEEKS. IF RIDDEN FREQUENTLY, THE SAME HAPPENS IN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS. FRONT BRAKE GETS MUSHY AFTER 3-4 WEEKS IN SIMILAR MANNER. CLUTCH GETS MUSHY IN 3-4 WEEKS. FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE, THE MUSHINESS APPEARS FASTER IN HOTTER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (THINK, TEXAS SUMMER). MULTIPLE BLEEDINGS DONE ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT HELP. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER RESULT IN MUCH OF THE SAME. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER AND THE MANUFACTURER SIMPLY IGNORES THE SITUATION LIKE …

BRAKES: SINCE PURCHASED, THE BIKE HAS HAD A ISSUE WITH A LOSS OF FRONT AND REAR BRAKING. RECCENTLY, DUCATI RELEASED A RECALL FOR THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKE LINE DUE TO FAULTY CRIMPING ALLOWING AIR TO BLEED INTO THE SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS, IT ALSO AFFECTS THE 2014 MODEL. THE THREE YEARS ARE EFFECTIVELY THE SAME, AS THEY HAVE THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEMS. THE ISSUE IS PERSISTENT WHILE RIDING THE BIKE, STATIONARY OR EVEN OFF. THIS CAN CAUSE EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCE AND LEAD TO CRASH, I…
