Lets talk ebc..

All 3 modes of my 1199 came set to ebc 1. So is that the highest? Pulling out the manual now
 
Yep just read that in the manual.. Stock setting in all 3 is EBC 1.. So I changed race mode to 3, sport mode to 2 and left wet mode at 1..
 
Ok, now wait a minute. Youd want 3 in rain mode. Personally I will use 3 for all my modes. You wouldnt want engine breaking in the wet, that would be counter productive to corner entery.. That would be the smoothest least ammount of back torque for the wet...

4 Settings

1.) "Off": The most engine braking (blip your'e throttle and match the engine revs to smoothen out the rev range)

2.) "1": a bit less engine breaking than "off

3. "2" : a bit less than "1"

4.) "3" : a bit less than setting "2" ( possibly the smoothest for wet weather)
 
Yeah sorry. I just looked in my menu and I did change Wet mode to 3.. 1 is like a jake brake on a big rig.. Hopefully 3 feels better in race mode..

And who the hell came up with "Off" meaning the highest setting. That is ........ stupid.
 
for those of us who don't want as much engine braking, you gotta go with 3 despite the quirkiness it causes at low speeds.
I understand the OP's desire to see if the slipper can help with this.
If I had the cash, i'd definitely be putting on a slipper to see if it could reduce the breaking
 
krisskross our bikes have a slipper clutch already installed. Or do you mean a better one?
 
ok first off i like the fact that the bike has a slipper clutch but i try not to use it at all as its expensive to replace if you depend on it. All you have to do is blip the throttle and you dont ever need to use a slipper clutch.

second and this goes to the original question. 3 is the least braking as stated it goes backward the lower the number the more braking.

1299 people dont have to blip.

When I asked Ferracci the price of a clutch change I decided to never use the clutch unless I have too haha. I use the DQS and blipping. I swear aftermarket clutches are cheaper and may be better.
 
Just saw an OEM assembly for $280 new, and a clutch kit is $309, weird...
Yeah, I screwed up.. That clutch was used..
Looks like a TSS might be a good way to go..

Hot off the presses from Randy @ Bellissimoto
Corey,

TSS is the company that makes Yoyodyne's clutches and to quote Randy "its nothing you want in your bike" Kind of a "get what you pay for" scenario (I'm not knocking their other clutches, they were decent, but not the best since they are copies of the STM, which was not the best either especially with all the advancements in the last several years like the EVR CTS01 and CNC Racing's Mastertech).

We offer the EVR Slipper which incidentally is the slipper clutch used by all the WSBK teams and the TPL team here in the states that use the 1199/1299:

It is more expensive, but its worth the cost. besides, we would give you a discount anyway on it.


If you want to have a dry slipper, (which I TOTALLY get and would want as well) There is always the STM dry clutch conversion kit: BellissiMoto - STM Dry Clutch Conversion Kit for Ducati

Spend the money on coaching instead . There is no need to replace the clutch in the 1199 or the 1299 .


Without being impolite, I've been riding since I was 18, I'm 41 now, not that age has anything to do with anything.. I've done blipping/braking/and downshifting for years; I prefer a slipper to go quick as do others. Each to their own I suppose. Appreciate your concern tho. You really shouldnt assume I'm not familiar with a certain technique. A low thread count doesnt mean I cant ride..

I'm not saying you can't ride everyone needs coaching . Replace coaching with tyres if it makes you feel better .
I' not saying your Bad Larry just saying your going to be spending money for nothing .
 
I tried it in #1 setting as that is how I recieved the bike and it was worse..

Sorry, after further review of the posts and manual I misspoke and though 1 was the least...I'll have to check mine when I get home to make sure I'm not going crazy
 
I noticed a change in engine braking when I installed the tuneboy mapping, I believe the mapping holds the butterfly's open a bit for a small period of time when you close the throttle. I only really noticed this when I went back to stock mapping to get a reference and I'd settled on EBC 3 as my preferred setting.

in saying that this bike for me is one of the most stable bikes I've owned on downshift, so while not quite a blunt as Wilkson I agree with the principle...
 
Ill start with the disclaimer that I did search for a little while before this thread.
After I got my bike home a few weeks ago and rode those 40 miles or so before the forks took a chit I set up the race mode parameters to my liking with EBC set to 3 or in lamens terms full slipper...




Did you only ride the bike 40 miles total ? track or street?
were you getting rear end chatter ?

I completely defend your right to modify your bike and also like dry clutches
I just can't find fault with the stock slippers on modern sport bikes on the track or on the street.
