Your right it is from Hursts, only had 300 miles on it!!

Maybe thats why i got a good deal on it- 'cause they know the brakes are dodgy!!

And it is about one year old now!!! Which seems to be around the age of the bikes that are giving the trouble!!

Maybe i should approach them about this??

Mine goes back to the dealer a week Friday for its first service, I am going to quote a few experiences as reported on here and ask for the brakes to be fully checked etc. But like others I believe the onus is now on Ducati Uk to quickly report back to Twinfan and either take action or issue some form of clarification on what has happened to put peoples minds at rest.

I'll certainly let you all know what I'm told (as soon as I'm told SOMETHING...)

Any update on your bike necroscope ?

I have spoken to ducati manchester regarding the judder I was getting at the weekend. They are unaware of any recalls etc but suggested I get the bike to them as soon as so they can inspect it. I must admit I did get the impression they appreciated the enormity of anything associated with malfunctioning brakes

No update on mine yet JPM. I'll be ringing DM in a short while to see what they have to say. I'll update this post when I've spoken to them...

Hmmm... So we have Stuart calling the same dealer as you Twinfan, and they seem to be blissfully unaware of any problem?

Twinfan · 24-Mar-2005, 15:23

Well they're unaware of any recalls (which there aren't) but they have suggested he get them checked ASAP. That's about all you could expect really as there is no official word as yet.

Am i right in saying the 749/999 use the same discs/ calipers and master cylinder ?? if so has there been any 999 with the same problems ?

JPM · 24-Mar-2005, 15:33

Well the R's don't use the same calipers, as you know
