[Ducati] 02 748 Brakes

[Barry]

Hey Mark

No don't fill the reservoir the very top, you need room for expansion. There
is a line mark about 3/4 up the reservoir, you should not go past this line.
You could cause your brakes to lock up otherwise, really important if your
doing track days and using the brakes a lot. The reservoir sits at an angle
on the front brake so I just touch the line on the high side. Make sure it
is D.O.T #4 fluid you are using, and make sure the brakes are bled well, any
air in the system will cause extreme grief. Don't forget to do both
calipers. Hope this helps.

Barry
