Drained and flushed the coolant system replaced it with engine ice. I didn’t even use a whole bottle of engine ice guess some of the distilled water stayed in the system. Took it for a ride rechecked the coolant level and it was fine. I had to top it off a bit probably some of the air in the system worked it’s way up

Hey has anyone deleted the abs and found the back brake line from fren tubo being to short. I installed mine last year and have come to realize now that the line has been rubbing on the back tire

Last year my rear brake locked up on me on the road messed up my rotor and now I have brake fluid leaking from the seam of the caliper where it bolts together I have to take it apart maybe there’s a gasket in between the two halves. But the brake line is damaged. I emailed motomillion to see if this is a problem with their other customers waiting on them to get back to me. Possibly they have a longer line I can buy to replace it

Took the caliper apart and it’s cooked is this fixable changing seals or just throw it away and buy another one

Pulled the cups out of the caliper and the seals are melted. The metal just looks to be cooked I’m going to try and order seals and rebuild the caliper

I think I’ll do that saw a rear caliper on eBay fairly priced 150 I think it was. I’m just going to order one

Brad @MOTION SBK can custom build you a new longer brake line.
You can also order online from HEL UK, or if you willing to do more research on the fitting needed, Goodridge.
But I think ordering from Brad @MOTION SBK will be the easiest (plug and play).

Well folks I’m back. Busy season at work and the rerouting of ships to the east coast has me out days on end. Finally got around to working on my bike, all I can say is @craig bush saved the day along with Brad hooking it up with a caliper and custom brake line. Found a new problem though, upon taking the rear spindle off I found that the bearing on the wheel side is all chewed up and does not turn smoothly. Now I need a bearing for that side I’ll probably replace both though. Any tips tricks to get the bearings out I was figuring throwing the eccentric hub in the ocean to hear it up
Hello BrooklynV4,
Based on this spare parts diagram below and also from the service manual, I don't think Ducati provide a solution to replace just the bearing only, but most likely you will need to replace the entire hub assembly, Part#15 in the diagram below.
Although of course if you take it to a machine shop, they might be able to take it out and replace the bearings, but maybe it will not be as "precisely fitting" as the first time it was pressed, and thus why Ducati don't allow/recommend to replace the bearing only, especially in a single sided swing arm like our bike.

I'm pretty sure they don't offer the bearing separately because they buy it as a assembly. Since they aren't putting it together they don't have the parts to service them. I bought a extra eccentric for a spare and it comes with everything needed. You can get SKF bearings for it from world wide bearings or here's a replacement kit.
