The bike has 12.600 miles and has gone to the dealership for all its work and inspections prior to this brake failure. Rear brake failure, the bike is available for inspection. luckily that I wasn't going fast when it happened I took the bike to the New Haven power sport Ducati dealer they said that shouldn't happen, maybe the manufacturer failed to secure the bolts with the lock tight. the cost to fix the bike at a Ducati dealer is an estimate $6,500.00 but the issue is not the money It could cause the death of a motorcyclist going at a fast speed due to rear brake failure. there was no warning or other symptoms prior to the brake failure only a snapping noise.

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 won’t 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.
