Brake problems??? Seeing as how there are now a couple of people with brake problems on this board, I thought I'd start a new thread. Has anyone had a problem on their 999/749 with the master cylinder and/or other brake related parts? I'd be interested to hear how widespread the issue is. Cheers! |
I get a slight stickiness on the front brake of my 2003 999S. This always frees off after a couple hundred yards, but I will be monitoring even closer now after your experience, Twinfan! I spoke to my dealer at the last service - a bit of copper grease on the brake pad pins was apparently the answer, but I have not done enough miles yet to confirm that this is the answer in my case. If there's more to tell in the future, I'll be sure to mention it. |
Well, just as I posted on the last thread really.... brakes decided to stick on while i was riding, bus driver told me i'd best check my brakes as they were glowing.... this shortly after the front end compressed and i almost came to a grinding halt... fortunately i didn't come off or i wouldn't have been impressed. But i'm hoping it's just a matter of needing some copper grease on the brake pad pins like Loz, i should get round to looking at it this week i hope (no, i must... need it for work again the week after) |
Guys, if you've suffered symptoms remotely similar to what the two blokes who've been down the road have suffered, get the bikes to your dealers and cite this thread!!! |
my cousin has a 749 he on manovers in Norway and wiill be itching to ride his when he gets back this week. So I have sent him email to warn him. Age |
well i've just read the post that TP-996 is on about.... Oh dear... http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/xm...6381#pid145842 My bike is also a MY2004 bike from Ducati Manchester at the end of May.... and i've experienced the exact same symptoms, except i was lucky enough not to be thrown off... Guess i'd better ring them on tuesday since I think they're shut on Monday's.... bummer:( [Edited on 20-2-2005 by spartacus] |
I can’t believe this, doesn’t sound right to me I don’t think I’ve heard of brakes sticking to this level only requiring a little grease on the pins. Don’t ride it and get some professional advice (that might not be from the dealer if that’s what they told you) :puzzled::puzzled: |
The problem seems to be master cylinder related - greasing pins won't help. They would free off easily is they stuck too. My brakes locked so hard the bike just stopped dead in it's tracks. spartacus - DM are closed today but will be open tomorrow. I get the feeling Darren is going to get a few calls... |
It really wants clarifying exactly what parts are the same on what bikes. Are all the models of the 749-999 for the whole range? Do they all use the same master cylinder? What about calipers, are they the same apart from the radial ones on the Rs? |
Good point by andyb as it is now becomming a bit worrying I am sure for all 749/999 owners. |
