Hi Guys,
Just joined the forum, super happy to have a place to talk about ducatis.
I bought a Ducati Monster S2R 1000 last week and have been playing around with it. I mostly use it for commuting (which I know is not its best use, but hey, I love the bike!) and have identified a few issues that I'd like to see if they are common:
- Bike has a hard time starting when cold
- A lot of noise comming from the dry clutch. I know its to be expected, but this level of noise carries on even when the bike is moving and sounds like heavy rattling and chattering. I can feel it in low revs.
- Bike stalls at red lights unless I rev it a bit when stopping.
- Clutch fluid in the master cylinder is dark, almost black.
- Clutch is a lot lighter than I was expecting, still heavy but not much more than a V7 Guzzi.
Thanks for any input!
Cheers,
otto
