This worked well for me; it reduced the play at the levers going into the MC. 30 seconds with a 11mm wrench is all it takes. Plus a rag or paper towel in case.
How often do you bleed your clutch?

Yep! I am really tired of this kind of posts....
If you have a problem with the clutch hydraulics, chance the slave cyl. If problem persists, chance master cyl.
Ducati's SC design is probably as old as the fuel tank venting piece inside the cap or the f**king claxon. Must be some sort of a mob thing
But please.... Clutch hydraulics is one of the simplest things on this bike. Fix it yourself, don't complain for years about it. It's just boring....
Both have been replaced plus some anti rotational device.
Still not fixed and please tell me why one should put up with this on a $30K bike?

Brembo OEM gear is very cheap & nasty these days.
A mate pulled his Clutch SC apart and found very thin and soft piston seals (which seems to react with some types of brake fluid)
Im about to change my system out for Oberon SC with RCS MC now my bike is out of warranty.

I have bled the clutch on my Pani far more than previous Ducati's Funnily enough I stripped down the slave cylinder today as it was leaking fluid slightly. The seals on the piston looked fine, I cleaned the bore and smeared some red rubber grease on the seal, it seems better but I will still keep an eye on it.

My mechanic did that for me to get me out of trouble while I am waiting for the new SC to turn up, enough to get me home but it is still buggered.

2 years on, and mine requires bleeding less frequently but still needs it from time-to-time.
No response from the dealer of course.

A friend of mine has a BMW and they just had a recall where they simply placed a sponge in the reservoir. Has anyone tried the same on the Panigale?
I believe the idea is that due to the vibrations on their bike the sponge prevented the oil to bubble and prevent the need to bleed often.
