Anybody have a clapping sound

Ducati Monster 900 1997

Took the old girl out , was off the road since October, New oil, new starter solenoid to replace the oe plug type with a cable and I wired in a superseal connector, should fix the intermittent starting issues

Not too sure if I am imagining things, she runs great, loads of torque low down , makes all the right sounds down low to mid rev, no power loss

When I seem to go mid rev, especially top end ; she makes a clapping sound, similar to those clappers you had on your bmx as a kid, from what I remember she had a throaty sound up top too with pops and bangs on over run,

It's hard to do a wot pull with traffic but I think power drops off when this happens, maybe a misfire up top?
