Important
Have the brake pads replaced at a ducati dealer or authorised service centre.

When an "error" is triggered, the indication (r ...
Disassembly of the gearbox shafts
Place the shaft in a vice in such a way as to facilitate the disassembly
operations.
Important
Take care not to invert the positions of the shims on reassembly:
this would potentially lead to jamming when using the gear selector control,
making it necessary to reopen the engine
crankcase.
