And Brembo gets to eat this one. Now if only Ducati would step up and take responsibility by admitting that they know about the faulty plating on their rockers.

Ducati Recalls 2001 Bikes
Ducati recalls 2001 bikes
March 12, 2002 - From MCN
Ducati is recalling almost its entire 2001 range for attention to a clutch cylinder problem. The only bike it doesn’t affect is the 748R, which uses a slipper clutch.
The cylinders on the rest of the range are prone to leaking, which could potentially make the clutch jam. Ducati has stocked its dealers with replacement cylinders and written to owners recommending they put their machines in for the work to be carried out. Spokesman Luke Plummer said: " We have had no reports of clutches jamming. It is a standard safety recall. "

I had this posted in the forum before the site crashed. My 2001 748 clutch slave cylinder was beginning to show signs of leakage when they replaced the part. Took about 30 minutes total and seemed to be a no muss no fuss affair. The recall was brought to my attention by the dealer I frequent, they sent me a postcard on it. /images/icons/smile.gif

My bike has only 1600 miles on it... I havent noticed any leaking, 'YET'.
Is this something that has to be done proactively? Couldnt one just observe the clutch fluid reservoir for depletion?

Mine was swapped out at about 3200 miles maybe. I did not notice any decrease in the level of my clutch fluid in the reservior. When the part was replaced it was just showing signs of starting to leak by the amount of fluid on the unit past the O-ring. Once it goes unchecked for some time I imagine you'd have to see your fluid getting low.

If you look behind and below the top nipple (?) you will see a painted dot denoting the new slave cylinders. If you don't have a dot you have the old defective part. This was in the recall thread I first posted before the crash (along with pics).
