Hi again.

From the answers on this tread it seems that most of you think that i should use the PC3 insted of the DP ECU. The thing is that my local dealer, and desmoPorsche, says that the DP ECU is a much better choice. I get so comfused and just want to make a choice.

2 question.

When i take off in 1. gear i sometimes hear a strange sound and i believe it is the clutch that is worn out. My bike has approx 30 000 km on it and have never changed any clutch parts. What is most likely that i need to change. I have tried to figure this out, but it is not easy to understand so  i appreciate any answers. An if someone have tips on where i can get a good deal that is great. I am also looking for pressureplate (black) springs (white) and open clutch cover (black).

Asking a Ducati dealer if a Ducati part is better than a third party part is like asking a Budweiser sales rep if Bud is a better beer than Amstel...   

No doubt in my mind, I would not get the DP ECU for that specific bike.  If the bike was a 2007+ I would consider it.  But not the 2005. 

If the sound you hear is a bad screaching sound, it is possible that your plates are rusted a bit.  Take them out (remember the order that you took them out), and use 0000 steel wool to clean them up.  While you have them out, check the basket for wear.  After you put them back in, if you still hear the sound, you may just need new plates.

hehe,

that might be true..

what PCIII is the best fit for mine and do you have any tips on where i should get it? I see on another post that the one for 2006 and i also believe, 2005, has the par number 710-411. On eBay it looks like this PCIII is for the s4, and i cant fine any for the s4r at all.

Thanks for the tips on the clutch also. I think i will change the plates because the bikes have approx 18 000 miles on it and the sound you are describing sounds familiar.
