[Ducati] slipping and grinding sound from 1st gear

[Ronald Betts]

My exposed dry clutch make many sounds. From the bell clang of the worn 
basket, tambourine rattle of the plates and sometimes the screech when I 
engage the clutch, it's all Ducati and all good.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
