  1. I have been reading about the various "cures" for the rear brake issues on the forum. But have ducati got a definitive fix ?. I have a 2014 s gt and the brake has got worse n worse , now it is non existent! ! Thanks for any help
     
  2. For the back brake you have to bleed at the ABS unit.

  3. I had this happen on my Diavel... and also on my 2014 S Touring.
    They replaced the master cylinder and bled it. Brake works fine now.

  4. errr......My back brake is working to much!.....I've got the opposite happening...my back brake is locking on! I guess it's 'gunked up' with road grime, it's seized on twice in two days leading me to pull over, rock the bike to and fro and it seems to free up. Had the same problem with a ktm smt I once owned.

    Think I will have to remove it and 'lube' the pins up and a good clean should sort it.

    Any suggestions?

    Failing that over oil the rear chain. The excess oil is then transferred onto the disk, reducing the rear braking by around 50%
