Ducati ST

Clutch fluid capacity & service interval

Ducati ST clutch fluid capacity ranges between min and max. Service intervals occur at 36000 km or 36 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

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

TypeSpecifications
ST3 (2005-2007)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 36000 km/ 36 months
ST3 S ABS (2005-2007)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
  • Change 36000 km/ 36 months

Additional Notes

  • The Ducati ST3 and ST3 S ABS both use a hydraulic clutch system, meaning clutch engagement is controlled through fluid pressure rather than a mechanical cable.
  • The clutch fluid level specification for both the ST3 and ST3 S ABS is expressed as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir kept between the marked minimum and maximum lines.
  • A change interval of 36,000 km or 36 months applies to both configurations under normal use conditions, meaning whichever threshold is reached first triggers a fluid replacement.
  • The 36-month time limit reflects the hygroscopic nature of brake and clutch fluid, which absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time and degrades regardless of mileage accumulated.
  • The ST3 S ABS shares the identical clutch fluid specification and change interval as the standard ST3, with no variation introduced by the addition of the ABS system across the 2005-2007 model years.
