Servicing The Hyper - Snapped Spider Spring

Discussion in 'Wanted' started by comfysofa, May 29, 2022.

  1. As above...contemplating taking the Hyper to the TT this year so thought id service it and get it ready....servicing the slipper clutch and the spider has just dropped out in 2 pieces....ive got a spare here but want to get another one ready as itll go again....i can see one in Germania for sale but wondered if theres anywhere in the UK i can get one?

    Any clues Ducati gods out there??
     
  2. 6 post sir....wow - just assumed it was an aftermarket part....
     
  3. as above, and a picture of broken spring is quickest way to identify. Early Bucci will always fracture eventually, later version a lot better but not strictly interchangeable.

  4. and just to confuse things further, I think this is the "interim" 6 spring improvement I was thinking of, memory not what it was:-

  5. Confused….surely a spider spring would have eight “legs”?
     
  6. the third picture I included is the best one to get as a replacement for the 6-spring early type, you can see it's fingers are slightly wider, and even the gauge is increased very slightly.

    I've also seen the easily-distinguishable, wider-finger type, modified to fit the earlier, 6-spring type of slipper.

  7. It will be better than nothing, but last ones I saw from O.E.M. were the weedy version, I hope the next person who buys one, dealer or otherwise, will post a pic up.
