| 620i.e Sport Clutch Slipping High RPM
Hello all,
I have tried searching through the forums on the web since buying this little fun bag in April but can find people with same problem but never a conclusion on how it was sorted :-(
Anyway the story so far, collected bike gave it a good hand full to overtake got lots of revs and no traction to move forward bugger.#
Prob: - more so when hot (200+) but evident also from cold in the lower gears up to 3rd no evidence of slip will accelerate with no problem above 7-8K, once in 4th/ 5th then around 5-6K normally as I go to overtake something I get that lovely roar from the engine but a slow motion forward, this revs upward to 7K then catches up with itself.
So this is what I have done:
1. Bleed the hydralics - no real evidence of air or even bad fluid or too much or too little.
2. Dropped the oil & filter - removed the plates some signs of blueing on the steels, had the plate thickness and stack height checked by a Ducati dealer ( nice lads at Snells, Alton) all over height apparently.
3. New oil & filter Shell Advance fully synthetic by the book, also re-bleed the entire hydralics with Shell fluid.
Initial result no slip but not so long after as in less than 50 miles the good old slip returned and has been back ever since.
BTW the clutch is very light and I have to wind the adjuster screw on lever fully out to stop it slipping earlier.
Any help before I start to spend money on clutch springs etc,( any suggestions on springs appreciated).
Thanks
