Yeah mate wheel bearings went. Thats what was makin the noise.

Then, when Riffer helped me dissemble the front (he has a decent jack) we discovered it has 297mm rotors...meant to be 320mm...without a lot of detail, multiple system failures from warranty arrangment, to parts supplier, and workshop (how could a competent mechanic NOT see that only half the pad was on the disk and the disk was notably smaller... ffs)

So, new rotors. Bearings already sorted thanks to Motomart (and only 40$ to fit them for me!)
Fun fixing your own bike but geez.....I miss riding it!

Makes your heart sink to think of it.

On the bright side you're going to have waaaaay better brakes when you've finished!

shudder to think what would have happened if the pads came together above the disk....not long before no brakes!

It was almost there already mate........... seems fate decreed my bearing would go first.....
But even then a wheel bearing in less than 35k? These are meant to be made of quality parts ffs!
Word to the wise - Mana Bearings in Porirua.
I got me far superior after market set for the same price as ONE original Ducati bearing

Maybe the pads pushin right at the edge of the disc had an effect on the bearing?

Sorry guys was out riding all day yesterday but it looks like you have worked it out

Hopeful Bastard’s has the closest match but my call would have been BMW as he posted 1st and accuracy for his type of landscape tag is abit more relaxed

(P.S. I often leave a mark on the ground as I leave to help you find where the bike was parked)
