Greatings from Italy, I'm on my fifth water pump replacement in 30k km on my V4S. Did you find by any chance a way to avoid or mitigate the failure? Did you find the reason why it leaks?Actually I am in contact with Ducati that is working to solve this problem, the company that produces this pumps it's a medium company near Bologna but they made pumps for every kind of market. So strange that they didn't yet find a way to improve it. Another company partner of aprilia is interested in building an after market replacement for this engine and they are working on it right now. Let's hope to find a good solution quickly.

So was it one of the coolant line clamp that was leaking? Because I have the exact same leak with 3333m on odometer
No the water pump
Was failing. Dealer replaced it fixed the problem.
