The factory flywheels are a dual mass flywheel which keeps the noise down. All of the aftermarket lightweight flywheels are only single mass which has a tendency to rattle a little bit more.

Personally, I love that sound. It means that you have high performance parts on your car and you're not messing around. For example, the very first thing everyone with a Ducati does is purchase the open clutch cover. Because they run a dry clutch system you can run clutch covers that are open to the elements. It rattles away and to the lay-man sounds like something is rattling inside the engine. To those who know, you just see a little grin form on their face and the look of "yea...That sounds AWESOME!!!"

Ah yes beautiful sounds..like straight cut gears whining or sequential gearboxes slamming through gears..or brake squeals in the paddock..

To think I just got home from the Koni Challenge haha, never going to get tired of this...hell Im going back tomorrow for day 2.

Hey I actually met Mag from Performance Friction today, he said he used to work with your brakes department for development...
