Need slipper help please - Ducati.ms

I am trying to install my new EVR slipper but have run into a problem, for me anyway. There is a spacer/bearing with a seal in the case... does this get removed? If so, how? The spacer that came with the kit will not allow the basket to engage with the splines if I put it together as is. Can any one set me on the right track? Could it be the wrong kit for the Hyper?

Whenever I cant remove the spacer by hand, I use these....

You should be able to clamp onto the spacer and wiggle it off of the shaft. The problem that you will have is holding the clutch hub so that the center nut can be properly torqued. Also, setting up a slipper clutch correctly is not as simple as installing the clutch pack back into the motorcycle just as is came out. You may find that you need a new clutch pack to obtain the proper stack height that is required for this slipper clutch to work in your Hyper Motard.

Good Luck!

that is what I heard, as well. Ducati recommends a new set with their street slipper. It is the before mentioned thickness issue, as well as the geometry of the tabs. One tech told me that, sometimes...the stock set will work. It is an extra 200-something expense.

The Barnett clutch packs work really well. Their friction plates are thicker than the original's for added life. This is what I use/recommend when I install a slipper into a motorcycle. The problem the Hyper and 1098 have, is that they use thinner steel plates and you cannot get the clutch stack adjusted properly without using thicker steel plates.

just make certain to measure the stack height.

ramp style slipper clutches are *very* sensitive to stack heights, and will give problems if the height is not within the spec mentioned in the manual.

Just pull it out, it's not fixed in any manner.

Thanks for the help. It's a new day and your suggestions gives me more confidence to be a little more aggressive with a new task. The instructions that came with the clutch could be a little more explicit, but they are probably meant for someone with a little more experience. The EVR has a clutch pack with it, so that should not be a problem initially. Maybe adjusting it later will be. Thanks again. I will let you know how it works out..
