Hey gang,
I am looking to pick up a 2007 Ducati Monster S2R 1000 in a few days, and at first I was all excited until he gave me a bit more info on the bike.
I am turning to you all for advise because he mentioned that before he put it away for the winter he started to notice a new clutch noise. When I asked him further details he stated it would make a low squeal when taking off. He thinks his plates are a little glazed and just need to be replaced.
The bike is all stock and has around 10,000 miles. New timing belts with service last year at 7,000 miles. He did change the front sprocket down to 14 teeth..when exactly that was done I am not sure.
Should I still get the bike because the issue more than likely can be repaired by new plates? Which is no problem…or is this a warning sign of a bigger issue? Like pushrods or bearings?
Thanks in advance!
