Clutch Basket?

adrian748 · 12-May-2005, 20:27

Anyone got any experience of replacement clutch baskets?

I have the standard 748r slipper in at the moment with the alloy plates, but the basket is looking trashed again after 6000 miles.

Do a search. It's been well covered. Not hard to do, but need a clutch drum holding tool.

It might look trashed but if it still works OK why change it?

I have lost count of how many times I have been told the clutch needs replacing on the two Ducatis I have owned.

Never changed one yet, one bike did 14k the other 9k.

Sure the basket might be well worn but all that means is that it makes a bit more noise and is a bit grabby in operation.

It's your choice.

My clutch was knackered at its first 6000 mile service.

Well, the plates were a little curled up at the edges and the basket had some serious grooves. But it never grabbed or lurched and was as smooth as a smooth thing.

Changed it any way under recomendation...

You can usually file the basket tooth sides to smooooth it back out and stop it grabbing.
Not to much mind.

Cheers, I've cleaned up the basket and the grabbing has gone, that's saved a few quid!!

I've done over 18k on the original basket, second plate set went in at 11k. plates getting a bit worn now and basket needs another filing, but may replace this time. Have been told that the inner drum also wears behind the main nut and washer???

Contemplating a slipper also.
