[Ducati] new Ducati owner - clutch

[mo+omille]

One thing that has happened to me before... I actually though my  
clutch was slipping once but I ate through my AFAM aluminum rear  
sprocket.  The think was acting like a ratchet and creating one  
directional teeth.  The chain would actually slip on it.  Glad I  
caught that one.
