Stainless Steel Clutch prings Do Ducati Performance do a set of stainless steel clutch springs, I was looking at mine on my 998 and as ive got an open clutch cover the springs have started to go rusty. I have seen some aftermaket ones for sale but Im worried that if I fit these and I susequently have a problem with the clutch it may invalidate the warranty. If Ducati do them any idea how much for a set ? wadd |
Hi wadd, i asked jhp the oter day and Mark in the stores told me Ducati don't do them. I am in the same boat as you with rusty springs. A mate of mine is making a set for me in stainless. have a good christmas mark |
Casoli's do 'em for 25quid a set. |
And spares shack do also. I have them fitted and have had warranty work carried out with no probs |
Didn't Nelly (Cornerspeed) do these as well? I know he does the stainless wheel nuts, but I'm sure I remember him saying something about them. [panto mode] Maybe if we say his name three times he'll appear... Nelly... Nelly... Nelly... |
Hello there...........:P Yes, I did have some. I don't have any in at the moment though. Stuart at Spareshack is my source for them though, so it may be easier to get them from him direct at the moment? I can certainly vouch for them. Quality pieces of kit. |
Most of the usual aftermarket suppliers will do S/S springs for the big dukes. here`s mine on the 998, I also had some S/S spring retaing caps made as well. |
Where do you get your springs and caps from? Is the red plate a slipper clutch or coloured pressure plate? Is that a DP vented cover? Sorry for all the questions Thanks Lee1980 ;) |
Wadd Dp pressure plate £60 from local dealer stainless springs and retaining bushes (c/w new sockethead screws) from casoli came the next day and look top notch with at tecmoto half vent cover £96 :) |
Are the springs straight forward to fit ? Wadd |
Yup,just undo the four 5mm allen bolts and remove the outer cover.Then undo the six 4mm bolts that secure the caps and springs. If you take the pressure plate off,make sure you fit it back in the correct place.One of the bolt posts has a notch in it and the plate has an arrow stamped on it.These should line up. |
Lee Vented cover and preasure plate are DP items, springs are Casoli (I think!) and the socket head cap screws are jusr normal A4 stainles whilst the spring caps were made up where I work by a magic chap called mike who is always making one offs for me. regards Bob.G |
Thanks Bob Thats the look I want but don't really want a slipper clutch, Do the spring caps show much if they were not changed, would you be able to see them if they were rusty? I was thinking of spraying the standard pressure plate. Might be a cheaper option. Thanks Lee1980 ;) |
Lee Like you I did not want to go the slipper clutch route (not just yet anyway). I would advise on a anodised preasure plate as i think you might have problems with paint peeling if you sprayed it. You would notice the end caps rusty but only when the engine is static. Why not just save up and waite till you can get an aftermarket preasure plate and do the job correctly, Ducati`s are fine machines and it pains me when I see one thats had corners cut etc. Your choice Regards |
Bob, How much did you pay for plate and cover inc. vat? Thanks Lee1980 ;) |
At £70 might have a go at painting mine first, sprayed some wheels in the past on my vfr400 it had an 80's rothamans paint scheme and I sprayed the wheels gold looked wicked only chipped off when careless with locks hitting etc. Thanks Lee1980 ;) |
One of my bikes came with a painted one, it hides away behind a standard cover so no one has noticed it is red. It looks as if it done with one of those engine enamel paints. |
Clutchy thing! Lee 1980 thought you might loke to see a better picture of the clutch on my 998s |
Thanks Bob Thats exactly how I want mine to look, would look great on my grey 748s. The red pressure plate matching the red marchesinis. I also wouldn't mind your rearsets the canbon exhaust cover and the 4-pad calipers:lol::lol::lol: Just have to start saving now. Thanks Lee1980 ;) |
