How often are you guys / girls changing your DOT4 brake fluid ?
I know the workshop manual says 36months, however when i was at my local ducati dealership buying some Motul300v the mechanic came out the back and said to me, (as he knew i was doing my own service) don't forget to do the DOT4 change, cos of the ABS Ducati recommends you change it every yr.
I'm probably not going to, as the bike is only just over a yr old, and if the workshop manual states 36months, then i'll go with that.. But there is some truth to DOT 4 having to be changed more frequently, and DOT3 normally is every 36months, and it wouldn't be the first time Ducati's workshop manual is incorrect.
So curious how often are you changing your brake fluid and for those of you who've had their bikes for a yr and have actually taken their bikes in, did the dealer do it as part of the annual service ?
