The_Doctor Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 ever since i got the Ducati i thought it needed a new clutch on it but its giving me conflicting feeling, last night may have given me the answer.... I was speaking to a car mechanic about the bike and i mentioned that the clutch was iffy, its fine when rolling on the power and for fast starts etc.. but when i slip it to get it out of a tight corner or clutch it to get the front wheel up is continues slipping and takes a moment to fully engage again. this is where he recoiled in horror.... he recons you should never slip a dry clutch, now this being my first dry clutched bike i wasnt aware of this and i tend to slip the clutch quite a lot, prob learned from riding and racing 2 strokes in my youth. questions: 1. is my cluch on its way out with what i described or is this just a trait of a dry clutch? 2. should i stop slipping the clutch immediately?

wavydavy Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I have no idea, tbh, but can't see how you can ride and not slip the clutch on occasion. I mean, how does this car mechanic expect you to pull away from a standstill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
