[Col996s]

Had a nice registered letter from Ducati UK today informing me that my bike is subject to a recall (No. 563) to have a new clutch fitted.-

"it needs to be replaced using a revised component to rule out out the possibility of it jamming, and preventing the correct actuation of the clutch"

My bike is a 2001 996S.

Anybody know what this is all about?

Do you think they'ed fit me slipper clutch?

[GsxrAge]

must be just the s then as I have a 2001 996 bp and I have not had any post.

I think a lot of us may get a call...... slave cylinder!
Sorry you won't get a slipper!

I should be ok then as when my chain went through crank case I had earlier 996 motor fitted

[Bungi]

yeah i got one today for my 996R

it definatly reads " the clutch on your ducati motorcycle needs to be replaced using a revised component" blah blah

Bah was looking forward to a new clutch

[ziggi]

I have moved quite a bit so I doubt I'll get a letter. I'll ask my local dealer about it.

[adam]

yep my 996R needs to be looked at. Quite surprised at this as my bike is getting on a bit now.

What is a 748F???

A 748S letter would be nice

I preasume that the design changed after the 996 models so the 998 setries are not affected!
