| Brakes: rear brake master cylinder was previously replaced in 2011, rear brakes malfunctioned once again jan 2011...rear brake lines were bled to rule out air trapped in the brake line, only to discover brake fluid leaking from the rubber tube which feeds into the top of the brake master...in addition, the rubber grommet that seats into the rear master free-rotates in place. ducati dealership will be replacing the rear master a second time under warranty, but i fear the cause is not being addressed! lighting: front headlights have water condensation built up inside the headlights, causing limited visibility during night time. ducatiusa declined replacing it under warranty, but the dealership was glad to offer to replace headlights at msrp+labor costs. the bike has otherwise been pleasure to own and ride. | |||
