Evotech case savers

MaverickiB · May 3, 2018

I'm assuming these are the type that require taking out the clutch cover bolts and placing the saver between the bolts and clutch? The tech at my dealership warned me about anything like that because the bolts used in the V4 are designed to be one-time use, you're supposed to replace them any time you remove them. Apparently, they are some kind of aircraft-grade ultra lightweight bolts that are incredibly soft and can only be torqued down once before losing their holding power.

They come with replacement bolts . Those bolts that you speak of sound like they suck ......what a stupid idea

Something about being super lightweight and all that jazz. I agree, sounds like a dumb idea, but a good idea for Ducati since it means you're either shelling out more shekels for replacement bolts or giving them a reason not to honor a warranty.
