2008 ducati 1098 16,000 miles.
so the first time came out of the blue...made the chunking sound. i was stuck way out in the middle of no where and kept hitting the starter trying to get it to stop jamming. once home i replaced the sprague with a new OEM BUT i cheaped out and only replaced the sprague itself as the surfaces looked decent on the flange and flywheel. the sprague was in pieces this lasted about a year.
then the clunking noise came back.Opened her up again the spring had gone and the pieces were all loose. I tried the stealing the spring off a the oil gasket and no luck..it broke and same symptoms.
So...i bought a new flange, new gear drive, new sprague from gotham, a new larger CC battery ytx14. This lasted November 2014 to the other week....approx 4000 miles....
so now i dont know what to do...i cant keep dumping money in this damn problem as im replacing practically everything. could it by the flywheel?
