Front lever feel
 

Having just bled the brakes on my 748 I'm still not happy with the lever feel. There is a lot of up and down movement on the lever.

Is there this kind of movement on a new lever?

Cheers Rik...

None on mine up and down...

Genuine or pattern lever ?

Dunno, How can I tell? its a bronzey colour

The vertical play at the tip of my lever about 7mm.
I'd've thought there should be some travel to allow the lever to pivot freely, but what's considered as 'excessive' I wouldn't care to guess!

If it's an OE lever it should have a ducati logo on it next to the 4 point adjuster, otherwise it could well be a pattern jobbie.
I use pattern levers on the DD bike and there's quite a bit of play in them... but they do the job and cost a millionth of the price!

Maybe its just worn - you could take the lever pin out and put a thin washer in to tighten things up!!

Even my new Brembo Radial items wobble around quite a lot!
