The first issue on my ducati is the rear brake not functioning properly for many years now. The rear brake does not stop my bike in a safe distance and when warmed up while riding it is very squishy and does not lock up even when extreme pressure is applied. I have changed the fluid religiously multiple times a year and have replaced the brake pads and rotors which the same results with all brand new equipment! The rear fluid location is in my opinion the issue...the fluid heats up and breaks down, preventing it from functioning properly. Additionally my fuel gauge sensor has been replaced 4 times and is a known issue with ducati's yet nobody seems to want to fix the problem...which is the sensor fails to read to fuel level properly and at a cost of $125 just for the replacement part not to mention the labor it costs to remove the fuel tank and replace the faulty sensor with a new one....several hours in labor later each time...the new sensor will work for a few months to a year then stop working again and give errors just like before. I have tried every new series of fuel sensor from ducati for my motorcycle and still the same result. Please help the ducati owners like myself by investigating these known issues and force ducati to fix these issues on all their bikes once and for all!
