[Ducati] new Ducati owner - clutch

[Brez]

Typically when a clutch starts to slip in the higher gears the plates have 
been worn and need to be replaced.  Your mileage is low so you may want to 
make sure something isn't hanging up.  Do your self a favor and replace the 
springs when/if you replace the plates.  I neglected to do so and winded up 
buying a set of plates.

Hello all, I just purchased a cherry 2003 ST4S with 1,850 original miles on 
it, love it so far just a few concerns with the clutch. It it normal for the 
clutch to slip now and then in 5th or 6th gear while riding pretty hard? 
Don't think it was my driving but felt like I totally lost the clutch for a 
few seconds, it's been fine ever since, I pulled the cover off blew it out 
with an air hose found there was quite a bit of debris, is this normal or is 
there a problem I'm not aware of? Any advice would be much appreciated. Paul
