E Checking brake and clutch fluid level The level must not fall below the MIN mark on the corresponding reservoirs (fig. 49.1 and fig. 49.2). If level drops below the limit, air might get into the circuit and affect the operation of the system involved. Brake and clutch fluid must be topped up and changed at the intervals specified in the routine maintenance chart (see Warranty Card) by a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop. Important It is recommended that all brake and clutch lines be changed every four years. Brake system If you find excessive play on brake lever or pedal, and brake pads are still in good condition, contact a Ducati Dealer or Authorized Workshop to have the system inspected and any air drained out of the circuit. Warning Do not spill any brake and clutch fluid on the paintwork or on plastic parts or they will be damaged. Hydraulic oil is corrosive; it can cause damage and injuries. Never mix different quality oils. Check for joint proper sealing. fig. 49.1 62
