Title: Clutch cover gasket
Post by: Dmitry on July 20, 2016, 01:12:10 AM
Hi! ;)
What do you think? Why on Ducati Monster 900 with dry clutch installed rubber gasket?

The gasket is to prevent abrasive road grit from getting into the works - yeah, I know, everybody wants an exposed clutch so they can look and sound super cool  [roll]

The gasket was also to keep the stock tin cover from resonating.

There are also spacers built in to the gasket to prevent the springs from contacting the cover.
