I love it! BTW, even going down the road at an even throttle if you go round the side of a mountain you can hear the lovely clutch jingle echoing off the mountain. I stopped in the store the other day and went in to pay for some gas. The young fellow there said, "hey man, whats that clanking noise? Is something loose on your exhaust?" I took him out to show him the clutch. :_)

Andre, I'm with Will on this one... STINKIN' Thinkin'... Ride the piss out of it... Ducati clutches are loud... Do a search for quiet clutch mod, or check out the files section. Your clutch, as it breaks in, will get louder and louder and louder. That noise is a caused by the size of the gap between you clutch plates and basket, when you pull the lever, the plates spin with the basket causing no noise, when it is in neutral, the plates bang against the basket with the pulses of the engine. I can't stand the noise, some people love it...

Please don't make the mistake I have made, SEVERAL times, and let you mind fool you into fixing it until it is broke... I have dropped my girl so many times I can't count anymore... Always cosmetic.
