| Hi, The rattle is most certain to be your plates against basket. I removed my closed clutch cover and replaced with open type and the same result.
regarding what is the correct pack depth, so far I have not found anyone who can answer that one because its a mater of choice. people run different types of plates and different setups. I have had a few weeks of trying to setup a slipper clutch and can say I have tried all possible combinations.
My advise is as most if you need to replace plates and basket purchase alluminium type, but make sure the basket has the hardned coating.
As regarding the pack depth, my Ducati came from the main dealer and when removing the pack I noticed this didn't match the Haynes manual. But due to fitting a slipper the setup is different. If it is a standard clutch the pack will start with a plain plate. The thickness of the pack, well start so that the bike(without engine running) will just move even in gear and the clutch released. This is a good starting point as the clutch is just slipping, then you can swapp one of the spacers with a slightly thicker one and the clutch should hold and the bike stop dead. Go out and try it, just don't get pack to thick always go for less pressure as possible without slip.
Alot of people posting seam to pass information on but not really explain the engineering behind things.
I have found a lot out by trial and error but coming from an engineering background I can explain and understand whats happening. Hope this is of help.  |
