[Donnie SanGregorio]

have had this bike all its life, maintenance always up to date, oil change every 3000km. went for a ride today and all of a sudden started running weird, lots of engine chatter near the clutch. red oil pressure came on and the bike stalled. every time I start the bike it does this loud wild squealing noise and then shuts off after about 7 to 8 seconds. if anyone has any input or wisdom as to what this might be? Sprag? Bearing? it was running fine until today.

Iirc, similar symptoms on the Ducati UK forum turned out to be the alternator stator and rotor seizing together due to the alternator nut coming loose.
