Hi I'm a kiwi living in Oz. I have a Ducati 696 monster, that i have been modifying over the years, my drama is that when riding hard doing power gear changes i can induce clutch slippage when i really don't want it. I also have a kawasaki vulcan 1600 that also did the same ( i know , i don't recommend racing a vulcan) and i fitted a barnett carbon fiber clutch and spring, no more slipping or slipper function, great on a big bike and i love it.
There are not many options when looking at ducati clutch's OEM , bernett, ducabike, the slipper clutch is great on down changers to slow down , but shit when you down change and nail it to get out of that stupid position you have put your self in, and all you get is screaming engine and no go. the 696 has a wet clutch, don't know if the basket is steel or alloy, don't know if plates are steel or alloy, just know i need to fix the slipping under power.
happy to go to a lighter alloy basket, more is better or in this case less! alloy driven plates, like carbon fiber drive plates, heaver springs is no problem, I know that alloy plates like an alloy basket, do all my own work, fitter by trade. I haven't dropped the cover off yet, but sure that all inside is stock oridganel in my sixties but ride the duke like a teenager.
do you have a clutch solution for me?
