Have a Ducati performance slipper clutch fitted, what I was after is some info on which way to go to give a little more engine braking, the clutch is all good but just a tad to much slip, which spring would I be looking to change to get less slip(more engine brake)? spider or the 6 pressure springs? any advice appreciated. cheers jack
The operation of the slipper clutch should not affect the engine braking, it's there to stop the rear wheel from locking up as you bang down the box to shed speed. If the friction plates are not doing their job when you roll off the throttle it could be your plates have worn and the pack height is too short for the 6 springs to do their job, the springs are shagged or the spider spring isn't doing its job. I'd look at the plate pack height first which should be 36.5mm or up to 0.5mm ish less. Andy
Hey Andy, I understand what your saying, ive maybe not been totally clear with the way I explained, I understand it doesn't alter engine braking but I'm after just that little extra going to the back wheel, the clutch just releases to soon if you know what I mean, plates/ stack height etc is all spot on, maybe its just the way the dp clutch is designed, my sigma that I had on my superduke r felt better in the way that it didn't let go so soon, cheers
Andy been having a think about what you said and think I may just get a new set of friction plates, see how it feels then, certainly wont do any harm, which aluminium friction plates are best value for money(recommended)? cheers again
Just responded in your other post, I've always used original equipment but I know there are advocates of a number of alternatives, all of which do a similar job. Andy
