THE REAR BRAKE ON THIS BIKE SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. IT CREATES A SERIOUS HAZARD WHILE OPERATING THE MACHINE. I AM A MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC AND HAVE PROPERLY BLED THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM WITH VERY LITTLE SUCCESS. AFTER THE BLEED PROCEDURE, I CAN FEEL A VERY SLIGHT DRAG WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED TO ITS MAXIMUM. NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH PRESSURE TO STOP THE MOTORCYCLE ON A STEEP INCLINE FROM A STOP. WHICH IS WHERE IT'S NEEDED MOST. FROM A STOP, ON A HILL I REPLY ON THE REAR BRAKE AND NOW I AM FORCED INTO A DANGEROUS SITUATION OF MODULATING THE FRONT BRAKES …

THE FIRST ISSUE ON MY DUCATI IS THE REAR BRAKE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY FOR MANY YEARS NOW. THE REAR BRAKE DOES NOT STOP MY BIKE IN A SAFE DISTANCE AND WHEN WARMED UP WHILE RIDING IT IS VERY SQUISHY AND DOES NOT LOCK UP EVEN WHEN EXTREME PRESSURE IS APPLIED. I HAVE CHANGED THE FLUID RELIGIOUSLY MULTIPLE TIMES A YEAR AND HAVE REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WHICH THE SAME RESULTS WITH ALL BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT! THE REAR FLUID LOCATION IS IN MY OPINION THE ISSUE...THE FLUID HEATS UP AND BREAKS DOWN, PREVENTING IT FROM FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. …

REAR BRAKE DOES NOT WORK. THE PEDAL WHEN DEPRESSED GOES TO THE STOP BUT DOES NOT SLOW THE MOTORCYCLE. THE REAR BRAKE IS COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE.

THE REAR BRAKE ON THE MULTISTRADA HAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF THE BRAKE FLUID BOILING AND CAUSING THE REAR BRAKE PERFORMANCE TO BE NON-EXISTANT. RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE INCLUDED NOT USING THE REAR BRAKE, WHICH IS NOT AN OPTION. I LANE SPLIT, AND THE REAR BRAKE IS PERFECT FOR CONTROLLING SPEED IN SMALL MARGINS. I'VE RUN THROUGH MULTIPLE BRAKE FLUID SERVICES FOR THE REAR AND LOSE PERFORMANCE WITHIN AN HOUR OF RIDE TIME.
