I thought the re jet was just if you struggled to find neutral? With standard frictions in my bike has no such issue. It's the slipping in 3rd and 4th that I can't fix.
I had to take the clutch basket out on mine and 'rough the plates up' by rubbing them over a sheet of emery cloth on a flat surface. Worked a treat. Some of the lads also used to put a 6mm washer under the securing screws to give a little more pressure.
I've roughed up the steels checked stack height and got stronger springs. The washer under securing screws adds no more pressure. Lol I've read all about people who have tried it. Aprilia did change the washer on later bikes but is a different design and does add more pressure when clutch is pulled. I'm pretty sure my issue is hydraulic as in when it gets warm something is expanding. (If you say lever pin I will hunt you down and murder you and your family) lol
My advise (for what it's worth) is buy a Honda..... Ok IMO - the S is worth the extra loot for the ohlins and lighter wheels (engines are exactly the same). Dry clutch is an acquired taste, takes a little maintenance, nothing major and there's loads of 'experts' on here to help. I personally would keep away from the very early bikes, whenever there's a tale of woe re' sprags, pistons and/or big ends, it's usually the early bikes. I've had this pain first hand...:Banghead:
Haha I already have a Honda I'm looking to make my life more difficult by having a Ducati and an aprilia in the same garage. I can just imagine the sleepless nights now. Lol
