What owners report
AFTER 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE MY MOTORCYCLE REAR BRAKE WAS UNUSABLE. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR A MONTH AND THE REAR BRAKE WENT COMPLETELY AWAY. FINALLY THEY REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER. WEBSITE HAS A MULTITUDE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. ALSO FRONT FORKS LEAKS PREMATURELY WHAT CAN CAUSE STEERING SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO A PREVAILING PROBLEM WITH DUCATI MOTORCYLES DESPITE THEIR CLAIM THEY USE PREMIER COMPONENTS. (MY BMW BIKES DON'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS.) ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT DUCATI UNDER THE VIN.
THE DRIVE BELT DEVELOPED A DEEP GROOVE TO THE POINT OF NEARLY TEARING THROUGH ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BELT DUE TO A ROCK BECOMING WEDGED BETWEEN THE FRONT PULLEY AND THE ENGINE CASE. THIS PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED IN VERY HIGH NUMBERS ON FORUMS DEVOTED TO THIS MODEL MOTORCYCLE. ON ONE PARTICULAR FORUM, A POLL SHOWED THAT 29% OF OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR DRIVE BELT BECAUSE OF ROCK DAMAGE. TYPICALLY, MOTORCYCLE BELTS SHOULD LAST 50,000-100,000 MILES, MY BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 7500 MILES. AN EXAMINATION OF THE BELT GUARD WILL DEMONSTRATE THAT THE BELT IS INSUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS DURING OPERATION.
