1199 Clutch Push Rod Modification?

Discussion in 'Technical Help' started by Bananaman, Nov 19, 2022.

  1. I've a small oil leak coming from the clutch pushrod on my 1199, it's definately engine oil and not clutch fluid. The push rod doesn't have an o-ring on it, there is an o-ring internal to the engine case instead which you can't get at without major case splitting work. Having done a bit of research it was suggested that the push rod be machined to allow an o-ring to be fitted.

    Anyone done this?
     
  2. My 899 started leaking at the pushrod and there was no way I’m splitting the cases for a seal so I machined a groove and fitted an O ring, not had a problem since. Stupid design by Ducati fitting that oil seal from the inside.
