Well that was fun The basket has more wear than i thought and the frictions and steels are also more worn and some of the plate tangs are not happy I'm gonna replace the whole lot another day but for now I'll make good and reassemble The pushrod remained in situ don't know of that's good or bad Bearing in pressure plate is smooth I've never seen so many plates in a clutch but i guess now it's a gentle rub of each of them I don't know what finished stack height should be nor what the thickness of each friction plate and steel plate should be Any observations welcome!
So, it does have a slipper clutch. Looking at the rusty spider spring, I would very much recommend a strip, clean and regrease of the mechanism. Do you have a manual? That will provide info on plate thickness and the order to fit them as a baseline.
this is no help at all!! https://www.bike-parts-ducati.com/ducati-motorcycle/Superbike/2004/999_R/999-R/CLUTCH/158/8/0/158
will this badboy work? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30544680...j96POu21PL5OASRfxSUmfe2g==|tkp:Bk9SR6L7sJesZA its likely shite quality but they all seem to be plastic/composite even the ducabike and laser ones
There are more sintered friction plates than organic friction plates. I don't have a schematic on my phone (watching speedway at my girlfriend's) but I'll post something tomorrow. IMO, that 3D printed plastic piece of crap is useless. I no longer have a bike of that era so no longer have need of a proper tool. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Andy
In my experience, and given the required torques, anything made of « plastic » won’t help… You need steel tools for this.
ok so two options case mounted https://www.averysmotorcycles.com/p...NKClNp3npBHV-1Ev7lLNvMiheDdjxJZ8yEky5OB9ScT8M freehand https://www.oberon-performance.co.u...basket-spanner#mz-expanded-view-1600515756535 seems the freehand is the pro mechanics choice but given the required torque for the nut im not sure i can hold the smapper in situ with one hand whilst trying to crack the nut at the same time
The Avery tool looks exactly like the one I use. The slots block the basket, the teeth block the drum, and it holds in place with the two screws so you have both hands free to work. That’s everything you need.
Those plastic clutch holding tools are poor. I have a metal one with big handle for both 12 & 48 teeth. Make your life simple. The plastic one will irritate you and you too will throw it as far as you can after 1 or 2 uses and buy the metal one.
I have both a metal holding tool with a handle and a plastic hands-free bolt-on job. I've used both for various jobs - most recently, I replaced the clutch basket on my 749R (now sold), using the plastic bolt-on tool - it's made of quite sturdy stuff, and hasn't given me any problems. I used Rocol Dry Moly paste for lubricating the ramps on that clutch, and have the remainder of the tube that I likely won't need again. Drop me a PM if you are still looking for grease, and I might be able to help you out.
Theres a guy on here makes ducati tools, i have his clutch and flywheel holding tools, theyre pretty nicely made. Michael is his name I think. Forgot his username though.
