The dealer says the ABS pump needs to be replaced, and has requested "YOU-TECH" warranty assistance to help cover the repairs.

Apologies for the threadomancy, but I am having a similar issue: the rear brake doesn't work well compared to the front.

I will be bringing it to the dealer this week.

So what happened with the ABS pump?

I have the same bike as you, and no brake problems after 9000 miles.

The rear brake on these machines is rather a joke, though. It's really only useful for low-speed maneuvering, to provide a drag for the motor to pull against.

Good news - finally got the bike back yesterday. While I wasn't so thrilled about this taking 8 weeks to fix as apparently Italy pretty much shuts down for the whole month of August, but Ducati did end up covering the whole cost of the ABS pump replacement despite it being just out of warranty  [thumbsup]
