Starter (sprag) clutch
 

After thinking I sorted my 998s starting problems, the problem really didn't go away. On a much closer inspection I need to fit a new starter clutch. I checked out ducati.com and the part no. is 701.4.007.1A
Has anyone any idea how much one of these cost to buy, before I ring around and have the parts dept guy sucking air in past his (or her) teeth?
Sorry for the Monty Python.

Spareshacks 2004 price list shows it as "Free wheel £68.29" (plus vat) if that helps any.

I noticed this on the link that Skids left:

New sprag fitted but the old one knocked out the flange it sits in and the driven starter gear it sits on. OUCH! So replaced those also. The up-side is that she fires-up with the quickest of touches on the button.
