Hello just wondering if any one has a s4r clutch friction plates and steels and basket or know best place to get one been on ebay can get one from Germany or Italy but with the vat to uk and duty the prices are a bit steep my clutch is on the way out I stripped it down the weekend and the basket is battered too original clutch tho on 2005 s4r 996 with 12000miles on clock its done well I think any help much appreciated
Don’t forget the vendors in Italy and Germany should be selling to you on an ex vat basis so you’ll only be paying the vat once, on import. Admittedly if the whole package is over £135/€150 you’ll get hit with customs duty (10%) though, however the same applies to any retailer that’s imported the items for sale in the UK as afaik none of what you need is actually made in the uk, so I guess if you do find a Uk retailer the price will be broadly comparable with what you’re looking at now. In my experience Carpimoto in Italy and UsedDucatiparts in Germany are the best places price wise.
Omnia Racing in Italy is another I forgot about yesterday. I’ve bought from all 3 in the past they’re all reputable.
In my experience, there’s no point in arsing around with clutch parts if the pack and basket are knackered - just buy a whole new clutch assembly (plates, basket and hub). This is generally quite pricey so may be an opportunity to buy a nice STM one at comparable price.
Cheers for the recommendation. I was looking at full kits. I've seen those super set duc or die one ducabike are they any good
Ducabike aka DBKspecialparts are good. Bear in mind they may have a snazzy basket and pressure plate in their kit but the friction and steel plates are still from Newfren which is what all the others use. However, it’s easier to get it all from one supplier even if it is a few £ more than shopping around.
Cheers paul to be honest. I've been looking at ducabike full clutch kits today look smart and have good reviews
