    Well, the associate bought the Ducati Monster. It's got a half cover
    over the clutch ( supposedly genuine D part). at idle the clutch RATTLES
    but when clutch lever is pulled in rattle goes BUT high pitch noise
    appears, sound like dry/failed bearing.
    Is this normal ???

    Sounds like it needs a clean out to me, you local bike dealer can do this
    our you can do it yourself.

    Second thoughts it may just need a bit of a run to clear out the dust.

    I have a dry clutch Ducati and my clutch rattles in neutral with the clutch
    out, rattle disappears when the clutch is pulled in, as is your associates
    experience
    I do not however hear a high pitch noise with the clutch in but I have the
    original "full" cover which may have the effect of masking this noise

    cant see how riding around with half the clutch exposed to dust,
    small birds etc is a good idea :-(

    Think of the weight saving, I know it's sprung weight, but still a great way
    to improve performance by as much as 0.00379%
    And it looks Horn
