Was thinking the same thing - loss of pressure you're experiencing sounds exactly like when my slave cylinder seal went.

I got a TecMoto one, with a better ratio - never had a problem since...

Cool!

Annoying thing is that it a new Ducati slave cylinder! Pro twins have suggested just replacing the seal with one of theirs!

What is it with the Muppets?

[dickieducati]

the clubs full of them.

they'll have to start coming up with new characters prior to next years trackdays.!

I'm keeping mine as it's been my nickname for years!
Very worrying!

Animal, Just had one of the new SMS 48 tooth clutch kits fitted to my 996 with the new SMS Pressure plate, a work of art and so much quieter. More than likely last longer than I will Four times the life of a standard Ducati one . Ill test it out over the week end . Expensive but what aint nowadays when it comes to bikes . On the issue of the slave cylinder,Cornerspeed do a very good replacement with three seals not just one as in the standard Ducati type,excelent bit of kit. Regards4D

Hi,

I've already check them out on the cornerspeed site, it seemed alright on my ride home tonight. I'll do some more testing tomorrow!
