I just picked up my first Duc, a 2005 Multistrada S. You know, because I enjoyed Robocop.
It has an open clutch cover, and if I don't hold in the clutch after starting it, the clutch makes Quite a Racket. It's loud enough that I'm more concerned about bothering my neighbors with the sound of the clutch than I am about the aftermarket pipe. Cause for alarm, or just one of the joys of Duc ownership?
Gas gauge doesn't work. If I get it fixed is it likely to stay fixed, or do these just have bad related electronics that will keep failing?
Prev owner says he's needed to bleed the rear brake every year to maintain any rear braking effect at all. I'm not a big rear braker, but I'd like it to work in a pinch (and pass inspections with minimal hassle). Thoughts on what part(s) might be at fault there?
Thanks as always for your wisdom-
