Slipper Clutch Install (KBIKE) DUCATI 748

[@enemycombatsports5356]

I’d be happy to see more Ducati updates. ❤

[@Vusseyv]

Yeah nice. I think I’ll stick one in my 998. Thanks. Great vid.

[@jefftrowercreative]

So good man! good job

[@jefftrowercreative]

Do you have a link to the clutch tool?

[@charalampossachpazidis2397]

Thanks !!!! Appreciate your effort

[@marcosdecezare3412]

Nice job friend !!!!

[@goldenset]

was the washer put on backwards compared to the photo provided on the orientation? if the washer was a bowl used for soup, the open part of bowl was facing outwards vs inwards.

Thanks for the video. About to pull apart my Hypermotard clutch. Is there a reason you measured the stack distance once the pressure plate was installed? Did you measure the total stack height prior to putting all the plates in and torquing it up? I hadn’t seen anyone measure the distance like you had before.

[@gamotur]

Thank you. KBike instructions(manuals) says that for proper functioning of the clutch you have to comply with this measures. From the top of the pressure plate to the clutch hub MUST be between 6mm and 7.5mm. They know better then me so I follow what they say :) It has been working without problems since I installed it. I would appreciate the 👍

[@wayne_kurr]

@@gamoturfair enough! Another question for you, where did you buy that clutch holding tool? I need to pull apart my hyper clutch as the slider spring broke. All I can find is plastic ones so far.

Hey if ur seeing this i have a question. I have a ducati m900 ie. I need a clutch and found one for 500 but it has aluminum basket steel cluch disks. Will it just not make any noise because the aluminum basket? I want noise cant find a steel basket and disks on a kit

[@gamotur]

I have steel basket/aluminum disks and still hear the knocking “noise”. Not like with steel on steel but it’s there. The reason I went with this option is that aluminum disks don’t damage the basket to much. It’s easier to replace disks than basket.

[@trixsters7156]

​@@gamoturoh okay. The one I'm looking at has alum basket and steel disks but it comes in a kit so I heard it's good but I want some noise

[@khelg6353]

Nice

[@khelg6353]

hello nice job I have a question about mine that has been sold ducati 916 I fixed the clutch slave new oberon the old slave clutch is gone. is the clutch naturally stiff when the clutch is pulled. pls let me know thanks.

[@gamotur]

I'm not sure what you mean by "naturally stiff"? It supposed to feel like hydraulic clutch with no locking ,binding or any steps through the pull (squeeze). 👍

[@parales03]

What grease did you use? Thank you for this video!!! Your number one!

[@gamotur]

Between hub and spring( 09:59 ), I use Staburags NBU 30 but you can use any bearing grease, just use a little, don't apply too much. Thanks !!!

[@jeffrhodes855]

Very nice demonstration, I have a Streetfighter 848 wet clutch that I want to do the same install, the instructions you give would be pretty similar correct, thanks again and great job

[@gamotur]

The kit comes with instructions, but it's pretty much the same process. Good luck buddy 👍👍

[@bohumirkucera1095]

Ahoj krásná práce 👍

[@rexixtencia1]

Great video! Like and subscribed. The best I’ve seen for demonstration, very detail one by one. How is the clutch holding so far? I’m about to pull the trigger on a kbike slipper and would like to know your input. Thanks!

[@gamotur]

Thanks. I haven't had any problems since installing this kit. The clutch works 100%, pulls hard every time ,a bit louder than a year ago. I would buy it again.

[@rexixtencia1]

@@gamotur loud is ok as long as it performs well. Thanks 👍

[@US-px7wc]

Nice video thanks. One question I was told that convex disc was supposed to be in the middle of the pack? You put in 2nd place

[@gamotur]

Thank you. According to the KBIKE instructions, the convex disc goes second after the friction disc.

[@parales03]

I’m sorry last question. As far as the washer goes. The hump should be facing outwards?

[@gamotur]

No problem :) According to KBIKE manuals - quotes "insert the convex disc (the peak on the engine side)".

[@parales03]

Did you have to buy another steel plate disc? Doesn’t the slipper clutch come with everything you need already?

[@gamotur]

The clutch disc set and the Slipper clutch are two different brands but can be purchased as a kit. The clutch plates are delivered with "extra" steel plates. I used the NEWFREN clutch pack. Don't forget to 👍 Thanks.

[@WillfulThinker]

Thanks for the clear demonstration. I'm going to do the same on my '08 Hypermotard. The wear on my basket looks just like your old one. With the new clutch, do you still have a fair amount of engine braking when closing the throttle? Also, did the lever feel change much? You recommend that kit?

[@gamotur]

Thanks. I'm not racing this beauty, just the short weekend rides, the engine braking and the lever feel the same. This is a much quieter clutch and you will have to try very hard to lock the rear wheel when downshifting. In general, I can not say anything bad about this kit, maybe only the price is quite high but I do not regret the purchase.

[@GRACEORT]

Why do you not adjust all the springs so that the distance between Pressure plate to clutch hub are all the same distance, rather than within tolerance but differing? Surely by having them all the same the wear to plates will be equal?

[@gamotur]

I didn't even think about it. I always try to follow the instructions, and the KBIKE instruction clearly says about tightening the springs with a torque of 8Nm. I trust them because they probably know more about their clutch than I do. But thanks for the idea, I'll try this next time. 👍👍

[@parales03]

Just finished mine but now it’s shutting off when I put it in 1st gear when taking off. Any ideas? I torqued everything correctly and measured everything correctly.

[@gamotur]

Check the measurements again. If all right, maybe the clutch needs to be bleed for proper operation?

[@parales03]

@@gamotur oooo shoottt I’ll definitely bleed the clutch. Thanks man I didn’t think about that.

[@gamotur]

@@parales03 Are you using a KBIKE clutch?

[@parales03]

@@gamotur yes. I have a 2006 999 I tried adding another plate and it died. The original clutch had 9 smooth discs and 7 of those rough looking ones.

[@ottoc.5071]

Hi, great video! Question. Does the slipper clutch totally remove the rattle sound when you pull the clutch in or will it come back over time?

[@gamotur]

The rattling is still there, but not so obvious. I use aluminum clutch friction plates so this should result in less wear on the clutch basket (less wear = less noise). Don't forget to 👍 Thank You.

[@mickeymouse4897]

Dry clutches wear rapid & rattle big time cos not lubed or damped by a bath of oil, a wet clutch is far better for less wear & less noise ... Ducati production bikes are based on race bike motors, hence the dry clutch for pit stop changes, Ducatis are costly & high a maintenance motor.

[@holmes1956O]

That is not a slipper clutch. A slipper clutch has 2 hubs and one rides on a one way bearing called a sprag. On deceleration the sprag disengages half the clutch allowing it to slip. This just an aftermarket upgrade clutch not a slipper clutch

[@MikeSmith-qs2nr]

Just bought an 06 999 and the previous owner installed one of these.. only criticism is.. you never installed and open clutch basket 🙂👊
