I have had repeated issues where the rear brake fades during hot weather riding. Also, the rear brake has to be bled fairly often in order to operate. I have read this is a common complaint for my model. The dealer has no input towards a solution.

Rear brakes have almost no stopping power at all. Have tried several suggested servicing techniques such as new pads, bleeding mrake system (multiple times). No improvement. Have owned several motorcycles and none have had such poor braking system. Front seems to work fine, rear is basically non-existent.

Rear brakes wonât even work strong enough to hold the bike on a hill without being pumped several times. Brake system has been bleed with new fluid with no improvement. Stopping distance is reduced by a subpar rear brake system.

The rear brake of this motorcycle is a known defect, the problem is discussed and mentioned on almost all internet forums and discussion places. In my person experience the rear brake goes soft quickly and eventually does not work to stop the bike at all. After I have the bike serviced by a Ducati dealer the brake will work for a period of a few weeks and then become unusable again. Ducati has been unable or unwilling to solve this problem.
