Title: Alternator cover - timing inspection cover question Post by: metroplex on February 02, 2012, 03:49:13 AM Is this inspection cover prone to cracking? If so, what are some common fixes? I just heard this from a vendor after inquiring about a case saver for the alternator cover.

Title: Re: Alternator cover - timing inspection cover question Post by: metroplex on February 03, 2012, 12:39:21 PM The OEM replacement wet clutch cover and alternator cover is just under $700 each. Every other make of motorcycle refers to these as case savers, it seems only Ducati refers to something else when the term case saver is used.
Title: Re: Alternator cover - timing inspection cover question Post by: metroplex on February 03, 2012, 03:45:26 PM The 696 has a wet clutch, so the cover is actually the crankcase cover. Do you think an additional clutch cover is warranted?

It's not very common though, I've seen lots more rashed up covers than cracked ones. Title: Re: Alternator cover - timing inspection cover question Post by: Raux on February 03, 2012, 10:32:13 PM You can get the mag ducati cover for close to the same as the stock
