Hi, I'm from India and got my scrambler Icon in September 2015. Put on 4800 kms since then and then noticed heavy clutch slipping when i shifted into second and then pulled away. Lot of engine noise not translating into forward thrust, and I could feel the slipping clutch every gear above 2nd. Took the bike to the Ducati service workshop where they opened up the clutch and took pictures for warranty approval from Ducati. There was significant wear in the clutch plates, and they have finally replaced the clutch plates, pressure plate, clutch hub in which these plates sit. Will pickup the bike in a few days after 2 weeks of downtime.
In my city/country, this seems to be a common grouse among all scrambler owners, some reported it around the 6-7000 kms mark, while some even reported it at 2000 kms. The workshop guys tried to attribute the early wear to there being lack of play at the cable at the lever end. Which, in my case wasnt the issue, as I had ensured the lever play was set and checked by them during my first service.
With me, 3 other bikes faced the same problem and all are getting warranty replacement of clutch plates as a result. Could any of you report back if this issue is globally occurring?
