What owners report
THE REAR BRAKE IS INEFFECTIVE AT ANY SPEED. THE BLEEDER SCREW IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CALIPER AND IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PROPERLY BLEED. THE BRAKE LINE LEADING TO THE CALIPER IS TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAUSING THE FLUID IN THE LINE TO BOIL. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF TO FIX THESE ISSUES BUT THE BRAKE IS STILL INEFFECTIVE.
THE REAR BRAKE BECOMES USELESS AFTER BLEEDING BY THE DEALER. THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM AND REPORTED IT HOLDS PRESSURE WITH NO ISSUE YET AFTER TIME TYPICALLY WITHIN 12 MONTHS THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURS. THE ONLY REASONING GIVEN IS DESIGN WITH LOCATION TOO CLOSE TO THE HEAT SOURCE. THESE BIKES ARE NOT ENTRY LEVEL SO IT ONLY DUE TO THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RIDERS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FATALITY DUE TO NO REAR BRAKE.
THE REAR BRAKE HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG OWNERS (AND DUCATI MECHANICS). DUCATI IS ALSO WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT OFFERED ANY TYPE OF FIX. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO MATTER HOW OFTEN ONE BLEEDS THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM, WITHIN JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES, THE REAR BRAKE NO LONGER HAS ANY EFFECT ON THE BIKE'S SPEED. IF ONE GOES MUCH PAST 700-800 MILES, THE BRAKE PEDAL SIMPLY GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, DOING NOTHING AT ALL. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE BIKE IN DECEMBER 2012. DUCATI HAS REPLACED THE REAR MASTER CYLINDER TWICE, BUT AGAIN, WITHIN JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES, THE BRAKES ARE GONE. ACCORDING TO DUCATI MECHANICS AND OTHER RIDERS WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE, THE PROBLEM IS THA
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 DUCATI MULTISTRADA 1200 ABS. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT DRUM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,600. MAILED OUT 01/13/15*LJ
THE REAR BRAKE DOES NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. I HAVE ASKED DUCATI TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, AND AFTER 4 SEPARATE REPAIR SESSIONS IT IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. THIS WILL CAUSE NO REAR BRAKES NEEDS A OFFICIAL RECALL! *TR
