2012: “When I received this motorcycle second hand, it was just about out of warranty. I did take it to a local dealer for service and noted to them that the rear brake was not working well at all. The said they would attempt to fix it but not to keep my hopes too high! I found out later from a sales manager that the rear brakes on Ducati's are notoriously poor. I eventually had the rear brake line bled by another mechanic and that only helped slightly and for a short period. Although the front brakes are far more important on a motorcycle, the rear brake has safety implications as well. …”

NHTSA complaint #10629684, filed 2014-08, 2,500 miles

2015: “Faulty fuel sensor. After a period of time, the fuel sensor will break down resulting in an inaccurate fuel gauge reading and will show empty. Despite many revisions of this part number, Ducati is unable to provide a long term solution to this problem. Ducati has not released or notified the owners of this mishap and are holding back information on fixing it.”
