What is a slipper clutch, and why is it better than the one on my '06?
Sorry you are wrong....Ducati's do not have slipper clutches...even the newest 1098S does notknightenforcer said:the ducati's had them for a while now.
Put synthetic automobile grade oil in your engine and you'll have a slipper clutch in no time. Much cheaper than replacing your current clutch...:stooge:Night Ryder said:What is a slipper clutch, and why is it better than the one on my '06?
Ohh I love the sound of The Ducati Dri Clutch. So what you guys are saying is that when I down shift as I am comming up to a stop and the back tire skids a bit I am doing damage??JDR_ROD said:Sorry you are wrong....Ducati's do not have slipper clutches...even the newest 1098S does not
No, it just demonstrates that you don't know how to ride... :hidesbeh:luxlamf said:Ohh I love the sound of The Ducati Dri Clutch. So what you guys are saying is that when I down shift as I am comming up to a stop and the back tire skids a bit I am doing damage??
Look Pops I know you where excited cuz you thought a Slipper clutch meant you could now ride around in your house coat, drawers and SLIPPERS with ease but it don't mean that. You need an Automatic Transmission.LL Cool K said:No, it just demonstrates that you don't know how to ride... :hidesbeh:

The Adler Power Torque Clutch

from the website:
"The Adler Power Torque Clutch, a Ducati exclusive, makes the 695 even friendlier, safer and more comfortable. It provides a clutch pull that is amazingly light, while also including ‘slipper’ clutch benefits. A ‘slipper’ clutch, typically found on race bikes, benefits the rider by reducing the destabilizing rear wheel ‘lock-up’ or ‘chatter’ phenomenon when downshifting aggressively. It also benefits advanced riders, and racers alike, for the very same reasons. "
If you really are doing this, its not so much that you are damaging the transmission, as you are risking losing control of the bike.luxlamf said:So what you guys are saying is that when I down shift as I am comming up to a stop and the back tire skids a bit I am doing damage??
Same benefits. I do know back in 2003, I was looking for a 2nd bike and walked into a ducati dealership, I was looking at one of their monster models and I was told it has a slipper clutch, since then it has stuck in my mind. I ended up buying a buell BTW.JDR_ROD said:That's not the same thing
