1st problem with the Duke... clutch slips under full throttle at about 7,000 rpms, its fine around town and half throttle/3 quater throttle, but the revs shoot up to about 9,000 and it goes into "moped" mode as i like to call it!

Do I need a new clutch? Is there a way to check and adjust? it has the oil clutch too...


Your slipping clutch could be down to the oil. Dont use fully synthetic oil on a wet clutch ducati. As i have had the same problem in the past.You may get away with cleaning the plates with petrol and changing the oil.
