| There is a slight groan as it engages. Not a high pitched squeal, but rather a low pitched moan as the bike shudders into motion.
I had the clutch slave cylinder replaced with a new Ducati piece during the 6000 mile service. I know the shop owner and he said that mine had never been replaced and since there was a service bulletin on that part, he could replace it for no charge even though mine didn't specifically show signs of leaking. Don't know if the new clutch slave unit is re-designed/better than the old one, or simply a new one, but my bike had the problem to some extent both before and after that trip to the shop. |
