Steels under pressure plate

If it was my bike I Would still rather dump the extra 1.5mm Steel and change 3 of the other 1.5mm plates to 2mm, you have the same overall pack thickness


This is how I see it

Lets assume a clutch lift of 3.8mm
Your setup had 19 plates so thats 3.8mm/19 = 0.2mm gap per plate

I would rather have 18 plates so that you get 3.8mm/18 = 0.21mm gap per plate

Might not sound a lot but that extra 0.18mm of clearance across the pack can help reduce drag and the risk of cooking the clutch

hi skidlids, thanks for your reply. Looking at the Barnett kit does it matter what model I buy it for? I believe the ST4S uses ally plates? Any idea if the 'full' kits also include the dished plate or is that a ducati only part?

Roughly hw many TD's can I expect from a clutch, I am not too harsh however I will 'use' the slipper as god intended!

thanks, jack
