I knew my original clutch was toast at the end of last season so I knew this day was coming. There are a few little side effects to this new clutch set up thou. Firstly the distinctive trademark Ducati rattle is a lot quieter, and now the clutch action is really, really, really stiff. I'll be playing about with the clutch lever over the next few days to find a span that I'm comfortable with. Hopefully I won't have to think about getting a new slave cylinder to ease the problem. Oh hang on a sec, Oberon do a really nice anodised red one, which would look really cool. Hmmm, when's payday again?
