What owners report
The contact owns a 2015 Ducati Scrambler. The contact stated while riding 30 MPH, the motorcycle lost motive power and stalled with the "Side Stand Error" message displayed. The contact was able to roll the motorcycle to the side of the roadway. The motorcycle was towed to the residence. The motorcycle was not diagnosed. The dealer was contacted and stated that the motorcycle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V891000 (Structure) and provided no assistance. The motorcycle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 5,480.
Rear brake goes all the way down without stopping the motorcycle, replaces the brake pads and bleed the system, then the brake works for a few days but always slowly goes down until the brake does NOT work at all. I have to bleed the system again. There are NO leaks int he hydraulic hoses, connections, master and slave cylinders or brake caliper.
The rear brake has become absent. I've had the motorcycle less that 5000 miles and now there's nothing there when i press the brake pedal. The front brake works fine, and that's the one I use mainly. But the rear brake pedal does nothing. I looked online and apparently this is endemic on Ducati motorcycles with Brembo brand rear brakes. Ducati offers no remedy other than paying for a rebuild of the brake assembly at cost. Meanwhile we are riding our bikes with no rear brakes.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DUCATI SCRAMBLER MOTORCYCLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO HIGHER GEARS, THE VEHICLE MADE ABNORMAL NOISES AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 500.
FRONT BRAKE PULSES AT LOW SPEED BRAKING CAUSING CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH MOTORCYCLE. THE MOTORCYCLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER IN THE FALL OF 2016 FOR REPAIR BUT ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED. CURRENTLY STILL WAITING FOR WEEKS FOR WARRANTY AUTHORIZATION.
