Clutch Change Advice
Afternoon all
I have to change the clutch on my 750 and I was hoping I could get advice/opinions on a good aftermarket option. From what I've read when going for a OEM wet clutch aftermarket is the way. Cheers |

So shopping round my first quote was from the garage and that came to £179.68 inc UKMOC discount.

Assuming you don’t need steel plates Newfren sell friction plates only. Ducati only sell full sets (steel and friction together) If you need both may as well go genuine. The main trouble is you can’t be sure what you need ‘til you’ve opened it up for a look.

That’s something I hadn’t considered. Thanks Slob

Don't forget you'll want tube of 3-Bond 1215 silicone sealant.
£15+ for a tube but excellent stuff (use sparingly) |

Many of the small case engines are made in quite modular families so things fit across a wide range if models. In this case the crank spline and gears should be the same. You'll end up with a massively lighter clutch, not even adding an aftermarket slave made of unobtanium and hand filed by master craftsmen will give you a lighter action. Oh and as a bonus you can stomp down the box without locking up the back wheel. Or just get some aftermarket friction plates, assuming your steel plates are flat.

Never worked on a wet clutch Monster but I would doubt the steel plates need replacing - I have a 50,000 mile 20 year old 916 which still has the original steels in it - it is a dry clutch bike but I would have thought dry would put more strain on the steels than wet, certainly would get hotter anyway.

Have to agree with DesmoDuke the metal plates are thick enough to manage some serious abuse and unless you've been amazingly brutal ought to last for a very long time. The oil bath plates last forever, I had a 750 that had 80K on the original clutch and it was fine. My 748R hasn't even done 8K so not sure how much the open slippers wear over a standard clutch but I'd guess more/faster but I'd assume the bulk of any wear would be on the friction plates. And yes it does get hot when its being ummmmm ridden with spirit

Whats everyone's opinion on this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272932311542
Im thinking the rust is simply surface and can be cleaned, but then the pessimist in me cant help but wonder why its covered in rust and what condition was the original bike in to have the clutch left like this |

It's just dark old oil, mostly the basket is alloy so won't rust.
You can see a bit of wear, the dark horizontal bands but it doesn't look too much.
