Well, I don't mind the noise. But, I recently replaced my aged basket and hub with billet ones from Vee2 in Australia. With an Al basket and friction plates there isn't as much noise as with the stock steel basket. When I had the stocker out I hit it with a screw driver handle and it rung like a bell, for a good minute or two, and it was loud. Same thing with the billet gave me a light *ting* that was done in an instant. So one way to quiet stuff up, though not cheap, is a billet basket and tight fitting plates.

I'm not a big fan of the dry clutch noise...at least not all of it. I like the "scraping" noise with the clutch pulled in...but I don't like the clack-a-clack-a-clack noise with the bike in neutral.

Here's how to quiet it down:
http://wolfcentral.net/multistrada/quietyerclutch.htm

I did this to my Multi about 6K miles ago...still working great. Keeps the "scraping" noise...loses the clack-a-clack noise. waytogo

As an added bonus your clutch should last longer because the plate tabs no longer beat on the slots in the basket.

J, I used your post for a How-To-- http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=33196.0 --- and linked it to the Dry v. Wet Clutch FAQ -- http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=20634.0 Hope ya don't mind.

and to think i'm considering getting the dry clutch conversion kit to switch a perfectly functioning and normal good wet clutch to a noisy grabbly dry clutch.

I love my dry clutch because its the easiest clutch to ever work on. You try working on a Honda diaphram clutch, especially a sprag type, and trying to set it up for the right amount of slip.

I did however change out one of the Barnett alloy friction plates for a Ducati OEM steel plate and it stopped the plates pounding the crap out of my lovely Vee Two basket and hub. Just one better fitting plate pulled the pack together.

The Barnett plates had way too much tang to slot gap from new (no burring after 10,000kms/6000miles), just made that way.Not a mark on the basket or hub/drum just too much noise beyond the normal noise we should all dearly love. One OEM plate on the outer end did it as it was a closer tolerance tang to slot, and the sound of a big end about to self grenade is gone and replaced with a factory racer sound. Clanga-clanga gone, chinka-chinka back.

What about people who weigh more than a dry clutch pack, basket and drum?..

Your not wrong. Vee Two basket good, stock basket (old style) bad. Old basket has sloppy tang slots from stock. Barnett plates were suprisingly sloppy on the tangs (light though).

What alloy plates would you guys use? ST4s plates? Dont like heavy steel if I can avoid it.
