Used this in my 1199S which has a nasty problem of developing air in the clutch line (yes, ducati still uses hydraulic fluid for their clutch) which results in bleeding every 500-800 miles. Sure, its quick but nothing gets you out of the riding mood faster than having to remove your gear, break out the tools and then bleed the clutch so you can get home without struggling to shift!
Enter SRF Brake Fluid: I tried this as it is the only brake fluid that I'm aware of with the highest WET boiling point. Its nearly triple that of the other name brand fluids I used, including the famous 'B' brand. After I fully flushed my clutch with SRF, I have not had to bleed my clutch for 2,000 miles plus. The only cons are its price and that it has a short life span once used. I will reflush every 6-8 months although they say its good for up to 1 year.
I'm glad this product exists as its diffidently a quality product that lives up to its specs. Yes, I also flushed my brake system with SRF and I have not lost any brake fluid since I've used it and, unlike previous fluids that would over heat and turn black by now, SRF is still its pristine piss yellow. I've not experienced any fading at all and the feel at the lever is amazing. This is now the ONLY brake fluid I'll use on all of my ducati's.
