Wonder if my calipers got sent to brembo for comparison... or whether they just got binned. You'd think it'd be worth their (and our) while to compare them since they have had the exact same fault... both LHS i think?? Guess mine and Twinfans were stable mates on the production line.
Went out to wales on it last weekend, and just didn't have the confidence in the brakes so I may yet chop it in for a Jap bike if i can't regain the confidence. To think a Ducati was the bike I always wanted, and now this...

It's a shame mate, it really is. The psychological thing about the brakes will go with time - you've got to keep telling yourself it's fixed now.

Who knows about your callipers - maybe there are several sets there being examined??? Mine is a RHS problem not LHS, not sure what yours was?

from I could tell it was the left disc that seized as it was badly discoloured, i'm not sure about the right hand side. Even the AA guy who picked it up commented on it, said he'd only ever seen it happen to car drivers who had decided to drive with the hand brake on.

Any news on yours necroscope? Are Ducati replacing eveything for you?

Not a dicky bird. I had to email a scan of my first service coupon this morning. To be honest, being that it's almost easter and what is happening with you, i.e. the brakes being sent to brembo, I don't hold out my hope of seeing my bike for another week or so. No doubt it'll be the warmest, sunniest easter on record!

You had to prove your bike was still under warranty then? I take it the dealer you're using didn't do the first service on the bike?

Strange, but I guess that's procedure.

no, it was the same place I bought the bike. I think he was trying to second guess Ducati, and maybe speed up the process by having the info at hand just incase.

Shouldn't he already have a copy of it then?

:puzzled:

That's what I thought - it would be on their records? Ah well, if it was the dealer asking then it doesn't matter.

This isn't a warranty issue - it's one of safety. Fair enough, there are procedures, but potentially people could be killed. We're talking about brake calipers here, not flakey paint on the tank. Ducati (ultimately) & Brembo should be pulling out all the stops to get to the bottom of this before somebody gets killed or seriously injured.
