Will fitting a Oberon Cyclone pressure plate effect a slipper clutch on a 1098/1198

  1. As the title says..

    running a factor slipper clutch on my 1098s, just removed a Oberon Cyclone Red pressure & Ducati Corse Carbon open clutch cover from my 749.. Thinking about sticking it on my new bike...

    Im guessing it will fit, but not sure if it will bugger up my slipper clutch function...


    Any ideas...

  2. IIRC the pressure plates are different... One is groovy and one is not.

  3. What's IIRC mean.. (Sorry to sound dumb) & are you saying it will make the clutch NOT slip...?!.?

    thanks

  5. If I Remember Correctly...:upyeah:

    No probs.

    Yeah; the back of the one below (slipper) has no grooves to engage with the clutch hub.
    The non-slipper (normal stock OEM) plate has gloves in it.
    You could transpose your bling I guess, if you could get a machine shop to de-groove yours.

    Slipper.

  6. It might not be as simple as that. Depending on the what 'factory slipper' is fitted. If it is the Bucci type the spring recesses are very different as the hub post height is lower.

  7. Not sure as yet, as I've not removed the clutch cover yet to inspect..

    What's the general consensus then?

    stick the Oberon Plate up for sale (got SS springs & matching red caps)

    or.. something else....
