Default Clutch fluid low.

I own 1999 Ducati 748, and I need to see what other owner are using for their clutch fluid, need to add some before getting the bike to the dealer for service. What type, brand should I get and any other tips should I know is my first time.
Thanks.

Where are you located at... that can help us tell you what kind of fluid to get...
Motul is very popular but not available to all... I currently use Bel-Ray Super Dot 4 for my brake and clutch fluids and it works great for me.

But the most important question would be why is your fluid low?
Find out if you have a problem then flush and refill the system..... then bleed... bleed... bleed it!

DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Any brand will work.

another quick thought..

find out WHY it is low..

If anything clutch fluid will RISE slightly with wear.

It's possible there is a leak down on the slave or into the clutch.

Get it checked..
