Hi,
I'm new to the forum and also a first time Ducati owner. I switched over from a Yamaha R1 because I love the sound and style of the Ducatis. I recently had installed a new anodized clutch pressure plate and vented clutch cover. I never noticed the noises coming from the clutch but with the vented cover the sound is extremely loud. The clutch makes a lot of constant rattling noises and some weird almost grinding sounds every once in awhile. When idling in neutral on the sidestand, the sound is so loud that you can't talk to anyone nearby. Just wondering if the loud clutch noises are normal to an S4R or to Ducatis in general. While in Italy last month I saw a guy riding on an S4 with a vented cover, but I don't remember such louds noises emanating from his bike.
Thanks for any input.
