Some minor upgrades

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

Sorry, bike is already torn apart again :)
Will continue upgrading it before WDW at the end of June.

I'll try to take a video as soon as possible. But smartphones are really ...... in respect of sound recording.

My first impression:
You as a rider do not get a lot of the clutch's sound. Exhaust, engine and air intake strongly overlap the clutches noise. If clutch is engaged, no sound of course. When the clutch is open, you hear the recognizable rattling.
Mostly people who do not know much about bikes are rather confused and think there must be something wrong with the engine :)
When I first visited my Ducati dealer after I installed the clutch all guys immediatly ran out of the shop to have a look before I could switch off the bike. And all of them had a BIG grin on their face. So, for me, mission accomplished.

The clutch is a bit harder to pull (can be easely adjusted with a different cup-spring). But I like it that way. The SLs and Rs are not commuter bikes anyway and do easely stall in stop and go traffic). And with the QS and blipper there is no need to use the clutch lever except for starting and stopping. It slips less than the OEM clutch and feels very direct. So far I am very happy, but I didn't test it under full load and on the german highway yet.

A word of warning: Clean and nice installation is very time consuming and it needs to prepare some tools like pressing stamps etc. If you want to do the conversion, do it yourself. A dealer won't take the time that is required to do the install properly (because he can't charge it to the customer).

BTW: The Bursi clutch shown in the video above is actually the predeccesor of the STM clutch kit.

Hello Gecko! Its hopeless to hunt you down on the bling road but at least i take some steps.. Questions,
The JetPrime throttle housing,is it plug & play? I read on a french site tps reset?
Also,i've installing the Evotech Top Clamp in red (Wow! Looks great) Do you have the torque for the bolts? Didnt get any instructions for it.
Thanks.

Hi Zelnik :)
JetPrime Throttle housing: It's plug'n'play. No TPS reset required. You just switch the OEM internals into the new housing.
But I won't buy JetPrime products anymore. The quality of their products do not really justify their price. I had to modify the housing lightly, otherwise it does not perfectly fit. And their velocity stack is a major PITA to install. Their youtube vid is a straight lie. Friend of mine bought their switch unit, and it became an endless story....

I love the EvoTech yoke. Have it in red. The bolts that come with the clamp are made from Aluminium. I just torqued them by hand/feeling and visually check the size of the gap getting smaller while increasing the clamp force. You feel it pretty good when you reach the point where it's okay. Not very scientific, but I never had any issue. Don't apply OEM torques.
 
Might reconsider JetPrime,but it does look good. Will see.. The throttle tube was grinded down at a place on Aragon but works 100%.
Going to feel my way tomorrow on the yoke then.
 
Evotech yoke on. Nice detailing on this piece. Loving it also..

Cool, I'm glad that you've chosen the red one. Looks damn cool. Now switch your clamping bolts to Ti :)

Right now I am playing around with front sprockets on the SL. So far I could gain 61g of rotational mass for less than USD 50.- :)
