Omg how daft is this , read the Duke manual, the Haynes manual and various posts , but please can someone confirm the correct order for the cluch plates for the 2v engines, I assume Ducati superceded the earlier set up ? I have a genuine new set for my 92 Sl and this is what I've gone with Put on first (Nearest to engine) 1.5mm driven (Plain) 1.5mm driven (Plain) 2.5mm friction 1.5mm curved plate: concave side outwards 2.5mm friction + 1.5mm driven x 5 lots 2.5mmfriction and the last 1.5mm driven (Plain)
That looks about right. Double check the driven plates for 2mm thick ones. There should be some in a new pack. If so, start the pack off with 2 of those..... youre build sequence is spot on tho.
Put a spare friction plate on before anything - right at the back of the clutch for the infamous "quiet clutch mod", it supports the plain plates at the back & cuts down on the jangle... :smile: Mine - friction plate (as above) 1.5plain 1.5dished friction 1.5 friction 1.5 friction 1.5 friction 1.5 friction 1.5 friction friction 1.5 Pressure plate Use a telescopic magnet stick or two to get the buggers back out again, MUCH less faff...
Would do but I've binned all the old ones Any way a duke would be a duke without a bit of Jingly Jangly.
Personally I don't bother with the dished plates, can't see what benefit they can possibly give by having less friction area? Doesn't seem to make any difference to function or feel either...
I think this thraed ought to be called a 1001 ways to fit a Ducati clutch ! I knew this would be fun :biggrin:
So they say but I've tried with and without and can't say I've noticed any difference. Logically though a dished plate has less surface contact and at an angle to the friction plate so can only be a potential slip and uneven wear point.
If you have an oversized slave cylinder to reduce the pull, then best to keep it on the thinner side or you'll struggle finding neutral. :wink:
