Rear brake pedal is very soft. With maximum force applied the ABS seems to either lock up or fail altogether. The rear brake is very ineffective on this motorcycle.

The rear brake is lacking power creating an excessive and excessive stopping distance. It takes several applications of the rear brake pedal for the brake to build up pressure to have the ability to preform its intended function. Braking is so weak that it seems as if there is no rear brake at all most of the time. This occurs at all speeds, all riding situations, and all driving conditions. Rear brake is essentially no functional.

The first incident happened when leaving my house for a ride. I got to the end of the driveway to find out my rear brake went from soft to nonexistent. No resistance at all. I could push the bike while seated with one foot while depressing the rear brake pedal totally. Again, no braking at all. Thank goodness I cover the front brake or I would have ended up in the busy street. It provides no stopping assistance at all; no rear brake at all. I AM on my 4th "brake bleed" appointment with the ducati dealership to have the system bled and checked. Looking at trading the bike in as this safety…
