Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The radiator has a leak under the left mounting bracket on the back side of the radiator. This has caused extremely hot coolant to spray out the left vent onto the riders leg. Also coolant has covered the front wheel and brakes, left fork and fogged out the left head light. This is a known complication with this model bike, with hundreds of documented cases. My bike has less then 6000 miles, with no accidents, and no damage to the radiator. This leak at the left mounting bracket is known to Ducati, but they are unwilling to help with the problem.”
