My '08 312R has the dreaded alternator gear rattle and was wondering weather to try and fix the issue as it's getting a little embarrassing in the pits on track days. People looking sideways at the bike and moving away slowly expecting something to let fly at any moment.
I appreciate the engine noise of the MV's and owned an SS Ducati for 16 years so healthy noise is great but this is kinda going over the line a little. So is it worth me going to the trouble, is it going to be a pain in the arse to do, should I raise the bar on my "acceptable engine noise".
As per the threads on this issue the noise reduces when the fan cuts in and disappears when above 2000rpm.
Appreciate some advice, Thanks
