Ducati 1198

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Ducati 1198 clutch fluid capacity ranges between min and max values. Service intervals occur every 36000 km or 36 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • The Ducati 1198 clutch fluid level is maintained between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir, which is the standard method for hydraulic clutch systems where no fixed fill volume is specified.
  • A fluid change interval of 36,000 km or 36 months applies to the 1198 under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first triggers the service.
  • The 1198 S shares the same hydraulic clutch fluid level specification and 36,000 km / 36-month change interval as the base 1198, indicating no variation between those two variants.
  • The 1198 R Corse, covering 2010-2011, carries the same clutch fluid change interval of 36,000 km or 36 months under normal use as the other variants in the lineup.
  • All three variants across the 2009-2011 range use a hydraulic clutch system, which relies on fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable to actuate clutch engagement.
