I finally picked up my 907 on Tuesday. It's been almost 60 days since I bought it. I had a day and a half off and drove from Fairfax, VA to Freeport, ME and back. It was a long haul, but I've had a smile on my face since!

I rode it yesterday for the first time and the clutch chatter was a bit alarming. Someone convince me that dry clutches (to the unanitated at least) are loud.

Pics will come soon, and I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.

sean,

there's the old story about the ducati novice who buys a brand new ducati and, hearing all the clutch noise, brings the bike back to have the "defective" clutch serviced, much to the amusement of everybody in the service department.

With dry clutches the clutch plates rattle in the clutch basket at idle and any other time you're not under load. Your dry clutch shouldn't make noise when under load; if it does, that's an indication all is not right w/ your clutch.

Do a roll-on. clutch noise should subside as soon as you give it gas. if clutch noise continues during roll-on, all is not well in clutchville.
