I'm surprised you're surprised by Ducati's sporadic use. Ducati have been sporadically using things since forever. Ognibene have been doing C&S sprocket kits for quite some time. For as long as I can remember anyways.
yes, one fitted to mine.....i was wondering how it was sooo quiet?! lol bike was manufactured in sep 18.
Hmmm, doesn't get me too excited. For how long will they be effective.... It they're effective in the 1st place. Looks to me like Ducati found a skip full and didn't know what to do with them all...
My Honda rvf 95 had rubber around the front sprocket, same on my Yam r1 and both KTM exc bikes I bought brand new. On the KTM exc it runs from face to the back through holes drilled in the sprocket. tried to remove it..gave up after 10minutes of struggle. On the old RVF was just riveted on. I am not sure if not compulsory now to reduce the noise and vibrations levels. (well basically noise is vibration, me stupid ) EDITED: It started in Japan early 90' very low noise levels there for homologation approval.
Jt does rubber sprockets too http://www.jtsprockets.com/sprockets/ I always thought they were just a gimmick and someone just based it on the cush drives on the back
Hey buddy, that’s my bike. Did you manage to get any joy from Chris Catterall at Ducati Leeds (Cobb & Jagger). Cheers, Clint
Glad you found your answer Topolino. Are they expensive to buy and fit aftermarket and how much noise do they actually reduce I wonder?
From the Ognibene chain techology web site (www.ognibenechaintech.com): "The rubber profile applied on both sides guarantees noise reduction, which is at least 2 db more than conventional kits, thereby extending transmission life."
My speciale (delivered July 2018) has normal sprocket, so not sure when they went over to the new style
