Hello, I am looking to buy a slipper clutch for a 999r and wonder what is the better solution? On one of my previous 999r, it had a bucci slipper but I had a few issues with it. Even though the dealer managed to make it much better, it definitely wasn't the best slipper i'ved used. Therefore wondering what other options if any or if Bucci is the way to go. I know there are a few second hand on ebay but not sure if they need many new parts. Or STM? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STM-dry-...370309&hash=item1a3f8e147e:g:hocAAOSwRQxaT6AS Or Ducati Performance? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-P...417060?hash=item41dbdab264:g:6QUAAOSwcwhVQPvI Anyone used any of these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ducati-e...032825?hash=item3b0744ff79:g:MXgAAOSwVoFau2Kj
Corse/F05 four post slipper with Surflex alu plates treated with lithium grease = perfect. Smooth engagement, neutral easy to find even with oversized slave and it's quieter than my previous 48t clutches (with steel plates).
I’ve fitted several Sigma units and they’ve been faultless. 48t option as well. Spares back up is good as is advice on set up. STM are classic as are Bucci. Thing is, there are a lot of copies out there, also of the corse 4 posts... make sure you know where it’s coming from.
They are available 2nd hand easily, including new ones, no need for any factory connections. As stated by @JoeC they are available from Forza - I bought mine from Kevin as well. Recommended. Plates were bought separately from Bursi Evolution, but the stack height needed correcting with one or two 1.5mm steels from Ducabike. The lithium grease trick should be known by anyone with a dry clutch Duc and there are a lot of threads discussing it, including this one: http://www.ducati.ms/forums/56-superbikes/123775-grabby-shreiking-clutch-how-i-cured.html EDIT: The version of the F0 clutch I have uses ramps instead of ball bearings so it has a minimal amount of parts compared to an STM Evoluzione which looks like it was designed by a drunken dimwit (you need to open the 190Nm center nut to remove plates, because why the fuck not?). You "need" special grease to take care of the ramps. I use Molykote M77.
Yes, despite all of the scorn, piss-taking and derision from sceptics, the lithium grease trick works a treat.
so do you just wipe the friction surfaces over and bring them up to temperature and then just wipe off the excess?
best not tell @AirCon ... he no likee lithium ** puts hard hat on and gets sandbags ready ** @jusutus , the only thing I can see as a disagvantage is that it's quiet... I do love a ton of bolts in a cement mixer clutch rattle.
Two versions. One is to just wipe on and remove excess. Second is to do the same but follow up with baking in the oven at 200c till the smoke stops. Alleged advantage is the effect lasts longer. The disadvantage is the stink.
STM 48T on mine as well. Can’t fault it, neautral easier to find then with my std clutch. Haven’t greased the plates or owt like but use an STM clutch slave and Brembo billet master.
