Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the top of the brake reservoir fouling on the inside of the windscreen/fairing mount? I checked the mounting brackets and everything is tight, but i noticed the bracket is quite flimsy so not sure if I can slightly bend it or another solution. Curious to know if anyone else has noticed it and what you have done? Cheers, MoZ |

I had the same issue. Mentioned it to the dealer during the service recall and I think they just bent it a bit.

I do love this bike, but Ducati saying they did a lot of road time is either bullshit or some of the test riders haven't got a fricken clue on giving accurate overall feedback
