open clutch cover...bit ignorant
 
about fitting one on my 996....can i just bolt it straight on or are there any other mods i need to make,also,apart from the extra noise...what advantages do they hold?

get rid of all the clutch dust

bossingit 02-Aug-2005 15:35

so no other mods needed then,just bolt it straight on?

dickieducati 02-Aug-2005 15:44

yes just bolt on. simple. not sure if they have a cooling effect too, probably. the only things to consider are how strong it is in the event of an off and also be careful when cleaning that you dont pour loads of water in there.

It is simply a cover for the clutch to protect the moving parts from damage, so no mods are really required although many replace the springs and bolts within the clutch for stainless type to prevent rusting, I would recommend doing this anyway.

The vented clutch cover releases both the dust build up and that wonderful dry clutch sound (in other words the volume of the rattly clutch will be increased).

ok gents,best i go and buy one then!!!!

I would, just remember that they don't offer the same protection from the elements than sealed versions and so I'd be more inclined to limit their use to dry rides.

I went back to using the standard cover - can't understand how anyone would like the sound of an old pneumatic drill shaking itself to bits..
is that how you spell pneumatic? dosentlookquiteright:puzzled:

Don't forget to check the clearance between the cover and the end of the springs some covers need the use of the spacers from the original rubber gasket or you will get a rather expensive rattle from the clutch :o
