Ducati Supersport

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

Ducati Supersport brake fluid capacity ranges between min and max values. Service intervals include daily checks, 1000 km or 6 month checks, 24 month changes, and 36 month changes. The data covers 6 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • Brake fluid level across all Ducati Supersport variants is specified as a range rather than a fixed volume, with the reservoir kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the hydraulic brake system reservoir. This approach accounts for normal fluid displacement during brake pad wear.
  • The Supersport and Supersport S models from 2017-2020 share an identical change interval of 36 months under normal use conditions. The Supersport 950 and Supersport 950 S, introduced in 2021, carry a shorter change interval of 24 months, also under normal use conditions.
  • Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the atmosphere over time, which lowers its boiling point. A shorter change interval, such as the 24-month schedule on the 2021 Supersport 950 variants, reflects a more conservative approach to maintaining fluid integrity in the hydraulic system.
  • The Supersport and Supersport S from 2017-2020 specify a level check at every 1000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first. The Supersport 950 S (2021- ) raises the frequency of level checks to a daily basis, a notably more frequent schedule compared to the earlier models.
  • The Supersport 950 (2021- ) does not carry the same daily check interval as the Supersport 950 S (2021- ), despite sharing the same 24-month change interval. The S variant's daily check requirement distinguishes the two configurations within the same model year range.
  • The 2017-2018 and 2018-2020 year ranges for both the Supersport and Supersport S overlap at the 2018 model year. Specifications for both ranges are identical, with a 36-month change interval and a 1000 km or 6-month check schedule under normal use conditions.
