Ducati's sound like shit?

[dbran1949]

After hearing the clutch rattle my neighbor said he thought the bike needed a valve adjustment.
I replied the bike had no valve springs.

Now with the termis I can't hear a thing he says

It's not the air -it's in the water!!!  (I highly advise drinking only beer and tequila)

Finally, advice I can get behind.

I read somewhere that the clutch rattle can be adjusted out, and that it wasn't exactly normal to rattle but that it didn't hurt it. I like the sound of a Duc without the clutch racket myself.

I spent the last 10 minutes with my ear pressed against a nice fresh piece of dookie.  I can confirm--once and for all--that Ducatis do not sound anything like shit. 

Damn dude!

I love this place

The clutch rattles as the plates start to wear, when the plates and basket are new they rattle less.

As usual, XKCD has the answer

ROFLMAO!

Is this a plug for your business or did you post the wrong video, because I didn't hear any of those comments.

Read..

Read..

The original poster edited his post to show the comments.  Originally it was just an embedded video without any comments.  Just like he said here.

Funny...I've never had anyone say anything about the sound the engine or clutch makes ...they just back away and say .....Damn that sure sounds FAST !    Dolph

Um... I don't get it.

What does one have to do with the other?

When i 1st got into ducati's i wasn't to keen on the clutch rattle but after going to WDW 2007 and hearing the orchestra of ringing and rattles i saw the light and up on arrival back home fitted a DP gold P/plate and black open cover. It certainly gets the attention of morons in cars along with the sound of termi's which to my mind can only be a safety issue although i don't think plod approves.(loud cans save lives)

If you worry about the opinion of every idiot who posts a message on you tube, soon nothing is worth having. One thing is for sure, in the last 10 years I have seen a change in the "average Ducati owner" More and more often, these "new owners" tend to be in one of two groups: 1 - The Elitist (Ducatis are the Ferraris of motorcycles. Ducatis are exotic machines and only the uber-cool, who would never ride Japanese trash, own them) or 2 - I have always loved Ducati's (at least 8 months now) They are so cool, how can I make it more like my friend's Honda/Yamaha/Kawasaki? I am so embarassed when people ask what that noise is.

Riding a Ducati that doesn't have rattling clutch, is like dating a woman with no vagina.
