Hello from Finland

[Manifold]

Hi, Moi, Terve!

I'm English & living in Finland near Helsinki. Long story..

Had a couple of Ducs in my time, a 900 FE and a 1000DS Multistrada, both long gone.

However I don't seem to learn from my mistakes and I've just bought an S2R 1000, 2007, 25K miles, good service record and history, which likely needs a bit of work.

I've just picked up new cam belts as the record shows they were last changed 2 years ago. It also has an odd low frequency 'wow & flutter' on the overrun when rolling off the throttle which I need to get to the bottom of. Hopefully that's nothing too serious 

Sure is the prettiest Ducati I've owned I'd upload an image but haven't figured out how to do that yet

Welcome. Looks great.  Enjoy!

Welcome (from Norway) 

The 1000 has the difficult stepper motor and old tech low rev running management (closed loop). Possible, but hard to make smooth.

One advice could be to ignore the roughness and focus on more throttle, more revs, more speed

Throttle tamer might help.

It's not fuelling. More of a rubbing noise when I roll off, I can also feel it through the pegs, like a low frequency flutter. Rear brake is good, rear wheel freewheels no issues, clutch in it disappears. I'll check chain and oil it, see if it goes.

Maybe a video with sound?  A post in Tech might get better response.

Welcome
Is it a friction type sound as you release the clutch on take off? If so it may be the dry clutch sound.

I'm gonna lock this.

Move the conversation to tech, please.
