| Thanks for all the interest.
Remedial action taken -
a) 3 x 1.5mm driven plates ordered from JHP to enable fine tuning of the stacking (about £4 each).
b) last friction plate temporarily replaced with 2mm steel driven plate. I figured out how a friction plate as the last plate would munch into the pressure plate - Doh!
c) Will order aluminium sintered plates to replace the standard Ducati ones (about £125 from JHP).
For info - I originally installed the kit into my old 996S, where it performed perfectly for about 2K miles.
When I got the 998, I took the kit out of the 996S and swapped it over.
Both times I was operating from exploded diagramms off the net - no instructions were supplied with the kit.
I remember having trouble getting the engagement point right on the 998, which is probably how I ended up with 2mm over on the stack height.
I have learnt better now.
Does anyone know if alternative clutch baskets (stronger than cheese) can be used with this slipper clutch kit?
