I took it in for an annual checkup and oil change (the Ducati dealer also flushed the brake fluid and clutch fluid) a couple weeks ago and last weekend rode it over to a friend's house and noticed the front brake felt a little spongy. I was going to bleed it myself yesterday but decided to throw it back in Ducati's lap as they had just done a fluid flush and bleed. As I was riding back to the dealership yesterday I noticed that it was getting worse and by the time I arrived at the dealer the brake lever would go almost all the way to the grip when depressed. I had almost no front brake. It is a 2014 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S I bought new back in 2014. It has 11,000 miles on it.
They diagnosed the master cylinder is failing and needs to be replaced. Fortunately, I bought an extended warranty so it will be covered. They have to order the part as they didn't have one in stock so I left the bike with them. Should have it back by next weekend. I hate being without my bike.
