Andre; Not to be rude to you, but it does just sound like a 'normal' noisy Ducati clutch that perhaps you didn't notice before? If the noise is not there when riding, we can dismiss a loose clutch centre (I recently had that, and a loose alternator, on my Monster, and it sounded terrible all the time). It does sound like a normal Ducati noise but a lot louder. I cannot be wear and tear the bike has approx 3500 miles on it eventhouth is a 1999.

Returning to your original post; I don't think anyone has identified the plastic component you mentioned that went missing. If your levers are the originals, I can only think of a micro-swith inboard of the lever, as fitted to the front brake. You'd notice loose wires, but it would have no effect on the engine at all, only removing one of the fail-safe gear-engagement interlocks. I don't think my '99 ST4 has one on the clutch, but different markets have different specs.

Good luck with sorting your problem!
