748R slippper.... terrible terrible away from lights
 
Well the beast has been nothing but perfect since i bought it and it's now a lovely piece of kit...

However the slipper is getting on my nerves pulling away from lights.... i can't rev past about 2500rpm without the horrible horrible 'graunch' noise and a lot of jerkiness....

Now i know it's only the Traffic Light GP, but you have to have a deccent start away from the lights ;)

thoughts ?

Clean the plates

I know that problem,

They are almost a complete waste of time on the road,Ducati GB advised me to junk it and fit one from a 748S.That not only over doubled clutch service life but and much better feel and no noise.
Horray

I thought you were championing these things...........get a proper ball and ramp type! It wont eliminate all noise but it helps!:o:lol:

Had the same thing with my STM ball & ramp - taking out the plates, cleaning them and reassembling definitely helped for a while.

i love it Andy... i really do.... just not pulling away from a standstill... for that it's bloody poor..

it's worth it though for me.

Mate, stop being a pussy!
If you use enough revs to get it going properly you won't hear the noise! :D
