What owners report
INCONSISTENT (MOSTLY POOR) REAR BRAKE PERFORMANCE IN ALL CONDITIONS.
MY 2016 MULTISTRADA EXPERIENCES INCONSISTENT BRAKING WITH THE REAR BRAKE, EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE WITH THE REAR BRAKE AND UNEXPECTED SOFT REAR BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I AM UNABLE TO RELY ON THE REAR BRAKE TO FUNCTION AT ANY TIME OR SPEED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE BIKE APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGO, AND FOR THE 3,000 MILES I HAVE USED IT.
THE REAR BRAKE ON THIS MOTORCYCLE IS VIRTUALLY USELESS. EVEN AFTER HAVING IT SERVICED AT THE DEALER AND BRAKE FLUID FLUSHED AND REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE IS STILL EXTREMELY WEAK COMPARED TO ALL OTHER MOTORCYCLES I'VE OWNED OR RIDDEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS DUE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE LINES BEING TOO CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST; I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THIS IS DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MASTER CYLINDER BEING MOUNTED ON SEPARATE COMPONENTS AND HEAT CYCLES CAUSE THE ADJUSTMENT TO GO IN AND OUT OF SPEC. WHATEVER THE REASON THE REAR BRAKE IS VIRTUALLY USELESS. ON DRY PAVEMENT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE HARD ENOUGH WITH THE REAR BRAKE TO ENGAGE ABS AND THE REAR BRAKE THEREFORE CONTRIBU
FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY 2016 MULTISTRADA FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THE FUEL TANK AS EMPTY REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL SHOW A QUANTITY, BUT THE QUANTITY IS NOT CORRECT (SHOWS FULL WITH A HALF TANK OF FUEL, OR SHOWS 2/3 EMPTY IMMEDIATE AFTER FILLING UP). AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT WILL REVERT BACK TO SHOWING EMPTY. THE BEHAVIOR IS CONSTANT, AND NOT AFFECTED BY FUEL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE, OR OTHER FACTORS. WITHOUT THE GAUGE, THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN FUEL LEVEL IS LOW. THE LOW-FUEL WARINING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. DUCATI MULTISTRADAS FROM MY2015 ON (AS WELL AS THE DUCATI DIAVEL AND XDIAVEL) HAVE A WELL KNOWN, REPETITIVE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENDER CAUSING AN EMP
