slipper clutchs what one to buy
 

xmas time and the wifes giveing me ££££££££ so its bits for the bike time ,, got or getting loads of carbon so thinking about a slipper clutch , which one to go for ?? help please

STM 48 tooth.Absolutely superb.

got a bucci,havnt had it fitted yet (waiting for jon-HELLO).:D

personally I would go for the ball and ramp stile slipper as used by the race teams.
I like the idea of the 48 tooth basket ?(although you then have to buy STM plates.
but I am not a fan of the single diaphragm workings of the STM clutches.
much better IMO are the conventional pillar spring mechanism.
have a look on flea bay under Niki 748 they often have ex superbike items for sale that a few on the board have had.
otherwise I know sigma can supply a copy of the Ducati Corse item

i have a bucci one, ball and ramp style. wicked peice of kit, similair to what bayliss used in 2001. would recommend it to anyone

pedro its fairly easy to fit but you will need a mate to give you a hand, i di mine myself but will get it checked over in my next service

I've used a Diaphragm 48 tooth and an STM 6 post 12 tooth.

The Diaphragm used to "kick-back" through the lever quite hard when it slipped, which I found obtrusive.

So I flogged it and put in my old 6 poster. Finickey to set up, but works great when done.

Careful you use alloy plates, as the steel ones knacker the alloy baskets.

I think the STM 6 poster was about £400 from Casoli (a while back).

Spinoli

BUCCI everytime. thats what Ducati fit, so JHP are fitting one on mine.

God knows!! ;) (STM 48th) - but the avatars in this thread look good ;)

I think I've ended up with your old 48 stm on my bike now Tim!

Blimey!!! - does it still slip???? ;) That's a well travelled slipper clutch then.

Don't know...never ride it hard enough to find out!:lol:

ditto!

Double Ditto

I have a JHP Slipper and a FBF Slipper and can recommend both, then again the 748R clutch does a good job considering what they cost second hand

I bought one of the Niki748 ones on ebay and I am well pleased with it. The slipper action is superb (although I guess this is as much the adjustment as the quality of the clutch), and the quality is top notch. Not particularly bling though, as the pressure plate is kind of magnesium coloured rather than day-glow, glitter-enhanced red or similar.


He hasn't got any up on ebay at the moment, but here's a link to the last one he sold

Looks like £500 is the going rate for them now (I got mine for £450 :D )
For this you probably get a clutch that would be £800 - £1000 new, only downside is that there is some wear on plates and clutch basket but, to be fair, on mine wear was minimal....good bargain I reckon.

I bought one of his first ones for £380 :D

Ran it on my 996 for over a year and it's in the 998R now ... it will get a workout at Jerez in Jan I'm guessing :D

Did I mention that I'm going to Jerez?

:lol:

I forgot to add that I've been through a spider spring since having mine fitted ... I don't think I would have needed one so soon if it was bought new (clearly!)

Still, a great clutch and very cheap for what it is.

And there's me thinking I had a bargain...bugga! :lol:


Are you taking the 998r Tony, or just the race bike? Either way, you'll be going round there a lot faster than I did, but I can't think of a better place to give the 998r a bit of stick (erm, sorry post seems to have gone off subject a bit)

OK, I think I've got it figured out now...the slipper clutch is in the 998r, and the clutch is going to get a work-out in Jerez in January.

So, run that past me again....are you taking the 998r out to Jerez?

Have you heard of JTR Corse?

They have a website where they show what they do but not the clutches.
http://www.jtrcorse.com/

There is an English distributor called www.motofast.co.uk who might be worth a call to get some more info.

The company is an american company and the clutches are suppposed to be pretty damn good but not tried one myself.

HTH

Me too.

Very please with it too :D
