I have always thought that both my Ducatis have a lot of lash in the drive train but I didn't think there's anything wrong and that it was just a Ducati 'thing'?

Certainly more play (from memory) than other bikes I've had and, as a comparison quite a bit more than my 40 yr old Guzzi although, being shaft drive eliminates any chain lash.

Mine are noticeably more in higher gears though and both about the same amount.

There is also a cush drive setup in the clutch which could be worn? That said my 916 doesn't have the clutch cush as it has a one-piece billet hub and there's no less lash in that than the Monster.
