My wife watched me ride away the other day. She insists that this little round plastic piece fell off my bike as I was pulling away. She recovered it from the driveway, so I think it actually may have some from the bike.
Any idea what it is? It's plastic, not soft like a rubber bumper

Looks like the spacers that go in between the fins of the engine. Mine fall out all the time. I think someone called them Duc Turds once.
Not a big deal if I remember correctly.
JBubble is correct.
They're used to dampen noise (fin ring) on the air cooled Ducs.
It won't be long before they all fall out. ;)
Unless the noise bothers you don't worry.
you guys are fast. Thanks
Duc turds....that's funny!

OMG, it's a sign of the apocalypse! JBubble is now tacking over the tech section too... <Marvin>We're doomed. All doomed </Marvin> :P
Now if you start answering questions about removing the rear axle, or torque specs... we're gonna tussle Bubble...

It's a built in game. you're supposed to try and kick them as they fall out. [roll] Surprisingly enough I still have some on my '95. ;D

I don't think there's a single one left on my 96 or my 01 750 SS.
You're all wrong. The bike drops them so it can find it's way home ;D
i just found one in my garage the other day.
let me know what ducati charges for the little fellows, and i will sell you mine for 1/2 that, shipped.
j/k ;D
