hello to all Hyperstada's owners,
I m andy from spring,tx
just got a preowned 13 hyperstrada with 5800 miles on it.i like the bike very much....but after 60 miles tested ride trip: the rear brakes is toasted,i mean from brake pads-rotor-caliper and to abs sensor wire.
I got home,tried to find the root problem :brake pedal pivot bolt very stiff and some how the push rod over adjusted.
well I will report this to local Ducati dealer and find all needed parts to fix it
 
Welcome to the forum, Andy. Sorry to see that you are having a problem, but it should be fairly easy to correct. Sounds like the PO was a "don't use the front brake, it will make you crash" kind of rider. Or one or the other of you might have had your foot in a position that actuates the brake without knowing it. Happened to me on a test ride of the first Tuono; the rear wheel locked right up.

hello Zippy49,how weather in CA ? here in TX it raining and cold front just comes...
I finally got all needed parts and fixed rear brakes,just wait for weather get better so i can take bike out again and see if problem truly fixed.i very sure that rear brake push rod over adjusted,pivot bolt-rubber orings seals r dried & very stiff,even gear shift pivot bolt stiff too.i got them all taken out,cleaned,lubed...really free and adjusted push rod.
i been riding track days,street,trips...for long times and i owned-owning many bikes now but i missed on this hyperstrada,
 
Hi Andy, the weather here is very cold (<50 F.) but clear. I would like to see some rain, actually. I've logged 50 years of riding and have had roughly the same number of bikes. Mistakes can happen any time...but it sounds like you have it fixed. Enjoy your new/used bike.
