New Ducati clutch
Motorcycle guys and gals;
Check out my new clutch on my Ducati. I love dry clutches. They are easy to install and to maintain, plus they feel great. Replaced stock clutch basket, pressure plate, friction plates, spring and clutch cover (vented). Enjoy. |
desmo996, it looks great. How much did it cost you for all the parts and did it take long to install? By the way I am new to the motorcycle world, I am just asking out of curiousity. :))

desmo,
Very Very nice bike. I had a 748 a while back and I had put the vented clutch on before I sold it. I gotta ask though, how does the new clutch sound compared to the stocker? Everytime someone pulled up to me they would think the bike is falling apart because of the chattery clutch. |
Sweet looking clutch. I hope it works as well as it looks! I've always love Ducs but they're sit a little too high to my short-statured liking. At least the one's that I would want.
A friend of mine binned his 900 Monster Chromo into a guardrail two miles from Deals Gap last year. I was just the second bike behind him and it was all I could do to keep from following him into the guardrail! Sheew! Luckily he just tumble a little and was a little bruised, but otherwise unhurt. The bike was wedged WELL under the guardrail and it took four of us to "unwedge" it. When I first saw it, I thought "Oh shit, there's no way he's riding again today!" But we got it out and just had to wire up the throttle housing to hold it in place and it fired right up! I wonder if a Jap bike would've faired so well with the guardrail? We rode another 300 miles that day, including the Dragon, then another 500 miles the next day back home. Three 500+ mile days in a row and less than 100 miles of slab time - it was a blast! |

Clutch basket and plates = $500 Clutch high wall pesssure plate and springs = $220 Clutch Cover = $200 It took about me about 2 hours to install, just because I'm meticulous. A competent mechanic would take about 1 hour, tops Cost of doing the job yourself and taking pride in it = Priceless :) |
Looks good! (hard to make that bike look bad).
I do it if it made the chatter go away. Enjoy! |
