BIMOTA Tesi 3D Slipper Clutch?

[daotoys1]

I dont think that the BIMOTA Tesi 3D LE comes with a slipper wet clutch out of the crate.

Ive been thinking of putting a wet slipper clutch in my #14 Tesi 3D LE......has anyone here with a Tesi 3D put a wet slipper clutch in their bike and what brand/model did you use????

Also, how did you like the slipper clutch vs the standard wet clutch the bike came with?

Any help here is welcomed

thanks

I now have 2 slipper clutches to try on my Tesi 3D LE project bike;

1) after long research and discussions I have picked up a new EVR wet slipper clutch for the Ducati DS1100 engine. This seems to be the state of the art and newest design and the best choice for a wet slipper clutch.

1) I also bought a brand new Ducati dry clutch conversion for the wet clutch engines. It includes everything needed to convert the wet clutch to dry and includes a dry slipper clutch assembly.

My plan is to try the wet slipper clutch first and if I feel the need to be more radical then Ill turn the clutch into a dry slipper unit.

The thing that I do not understand is why BIMOTA put a wet clutched Ducati engine in the Tesi 3D when the DB5/DB5R, DB6/DB6R, and DB7 all use dry clutched Ducati engines.

The wet clutch is not so bad, but its a standard wet clutch, not a slipper clutch/ back torque limiter......BIMOTAs should all come with slipper clutches out of the crate.

Maybe BIMOTA decide to try and save a few bucks but I see this as a mistake.

Why not put a slipper clutch in the Tesi 3D from the factory???? Im sure that BIMOTA could ask Ducati to supply the Tesi 3D engine with any clutch they wanted....

Is there any benefit at all to have a standard clutch over a slipper unit ( the only one I can think of is that a slipper clutch if used wrong may wear out sooner ....)....

Any way....I now have 2 clutch improvement options available to me on the Tesi 3D......
