Guys I installed the ducabike clear clutch cover and pressure plate ring and now the clutch won't pull in. I tried reasonable about of force on the lever (did not want to over do it) it just won't pull. I started the bike and warmed up.

Any thoughts? Could I have over tightened the clutch pressure plate ring?
 
Easy...
when you removed the 3 bolts from the clutch pressure ring, you let clutch slightly come out and the first presure ring slightly misaligned (funny clutch design, this ring works different).
Or you engaged the clutch while the pressure ring was not in place.

Remove oilquaium and pressure ring, realign the clutch plate and put everything tohether again.
 
^^ yup- Just curious how you managed to do that? Ive done mine a handful of times making sure i take the bolts out equally and such and never had an issue with my clutch slipping out of place?
 
Happened to me the first time because my GF "accidentally" pulled the clutch lever while I was removing the pressure plate :)

It's no problem at all to realign the last disk to the inner hub.

I can just repeat myself: this OEM ducati slippery wet clutch is a mechanical piece of art. Works perfect, almost no moving parts, and the coolest thing is that the main force for engaging does not come from the springs but the design of the hubs with two slopes for both directions.
It does not look very nice, but it's light, cheap to manufacture and does the job!
I love it as well as the decompression mechanics, must have been the same designer :)
 
I tried as recommended still no luck. Even with the ring and springs removed the clutch lever does not pull. I did not remove any plates when I originally installed. Though I notice the first plate has a gap. Should I remove all plates ?

Dont remove the plates. As you can see the last disk's inner notches do not go into the notches as the others do. They have to fit into the rear of the big part you insert into the clutch hub :)

Sorry, I'm at the end of my english.
 
Thanks a bunch! I aligned that inner ring to the hub and carefully put back. Tightened screws and good to go
 
Awesome good to you see you got it fixed- I would have had a hell of a time getting that thing figured out- How hard was the pressure plate to get off?
 
I am having the same issue after installing my ducabike clear clutch cover, clutch lever won't pull. I can't see your photos about this issue,
I heard bleeding the clutch would resolve this issue, any advice?
 
You need realign your clutch hub back it. I had this same issue. You gotta turn the hub to get the clutch back in.

Thanks bro, I recheck the alignment and it was good. I bled the clutch lever, and that resolved the issue.

Bleeding the clutch resolved the clutch lever issue, but the bike stalls when I put it in gear. This is frustrating, I didn't get how I need to realign the hub, any photos or more details please

So to update. I met up with him and help him fix it. At first we though it was because the hub was in all the way but after installing the hub correctly we found out. When he previously drain the clutch we didn't pump the clutch enough so therefore the clutch had no pressure lol it's a simple error needless to say after a minute of pumping lol bike running good. Mhadad was so cool he gave me a set of carbon tank sliders. And gave me a ride in his GTR. Thanks again mhadad bro you made one of my dream come true lol.
