I'm Sold on the Slipper! - Ducati.ms

Just got my bike back on the road today after an extended period of being in pieces in my garage. One of the mods is the installation of an EVR CTS01 slipper clutch. I've never ridden a bike with a slipper clutch before so before I purchased it I was unsure of the actual benefit.

I can say now that it was well worth it. Being able to backshift with impunity into a corner entry sure is fun. The clutch smoothly slips just enough to keep the rear wheel from locking up and provides just enough compression braking to smoothly setup for turns.

Other recent mods include an aluminum subframe, Speedcell Battery, and a very lightweight Mivv full ti 2-1 exhaust with Arrow collectors. The exhaust sounds great and the lighter overall weight of the bike is very apparent.

Just wait till your at the track and go from 120MPH to 10MPH & 6th to 2nd in a blink of an eye for a hard left hander, the slipper clutch works "AMAZING!"

I glad you like it! Aloha Alex

PS: do you have a picture of your exhaust? and will you be doing a dyno run?

I'll post up some pics tomorrow. I've got to get the bike back on the dyno to see the effect of the Rapid Bike firmware update, fuel mapping changes I've made, and the new exhaust. The bike runs plenty strong, easily as good or better than before. Did a bunch of throttle roll on runs today and the bike seems dialed. I'll know for sure when I hook it up to the dyno sniffer.

Like Alex said.... The slipper is even better on the track. But I do enjoy the extra bit of safety when cruising the canyons too. I've had the back end sliding around with the slipper but never a chatter at the wheel no matter how many gears I go down at one time!

i just put a STM SBK slipper in mine and it was a serious help on the track. BTW the guy that i bought mine from has another listed on ebay right now cheap.

It seems to come with a pretty nice tail tidy, in my opinion.

I didn't realize how much difference a slipper makes at the track until I banged 1st gear on my slipper-less CBR. Holy pogo-stick!!

The only problem with a slipper clutch is once you've had one on the track, you find that now ANY bike you take to the track needs one...
