14T Sprocket and EVR Slave Cylinder installed.



Just fitted another 2 regulation mod's, and I wanted to give you all my first impressions after reading so many threads about such.

The EVR slave is brilliant, as is no doubt most after market big bore billet boom bang clutch cylinders.
I chose EVR because it was Italian and it was recommended.

Main reason for doing it on the hyper is I'm going shorty levers soon, when someone gets the CRG spectrums in stock! (waiting waiting etc.)

The lever pull is definitely lighter, (yet still not in the jap league), and who want's it too be? Too lighter pull is for pussies and that's what riding a Duc is all about! But a nice 20-30% less effort is enjoyable and welcome.

Only took me about 8-10 cracks of the bleeder to have it sorted so well worth the effort IMO. Nice shifts and easy to find neutrals. I'm a happy chappy.

The 14T Front Sprocket was a real test to fit.
Only because I'm no trained tech, but I am a home wrencha, and have been for many, many years.
I hate giving dominion over my bike, or car, to someone else, only to realize they've botched something!
I'll botch it myself thank you very much and save myself a shit load of $$$ in labour! ( ...and probably learn something)

Anywho... I almost f*cked up severely because in my haste to get it done, (never rush), I tried doing it on the side stand instead of using my front wheel chock.
After loosening the last bolt on the LH peg housing, the bike started to fall on top of me
Suddenly I remembered reading somewhere here that the one of the main support bolts for the SIDESTAND is incorporated in that housing.
If it wasn't for my Kung Fu traning and shear desperation I would have been wearing my Hyper as a blanket!
F*cking hilarious shit fellaz in hindsight!

Anyway... after standing the bike back up through brute force and adrenalin, and popping the bike into the chock like I should have done to begin with... and some rattle gun attention, it's all done and test ridden and I'm well pleased.

Seriously, you'll never see 5th or 6th gear on the street with OEM gearing, as with any Duc, but after a good ride with the 14T up front, it's not as a dramatic change as the threads here will have you believe.
When the bike gets older I'll probably go with a larger rear sprocket and a new chain etc etc..
But why bother with that expense ($400), when you can change over your front for a $28 Supersprox 14T.

I did see 5th on my test ride, and slow traffic was 100% better.

Getting to my countries speed limits is a hell of a lot quicker now also!

For real world riding, I believe these mods are a must.

Talking

I don't fit your statement about the "lighter pull is for pussies" fits me I've gotten used to using one finger for control on my trials bike, and would like to ride the hyper in the same manner.

How does the pull compare to the new 796 with the wet clutch? I can work it with one finger fine and would love to have that feel on the 1100. To be honest I'm torn between the two- the 1100 is so much fun to ride!

I never noticed the difference in the clutch to be honest.

But the 14 th on the front makes this bike come alive. I live pretty much at the base of our mountain area here and it launches out of bends on the back wheel now and it also allows me to do standup wheelies in 3rd much easier

..not that it didn't launch out of bends before, just easier now

We should add this hyper smiley I made of Ruben ^^

On my Husaberg the lever pull is so light it's ridiculous. One finger easy.
You'll never achieve that on a dry Ducati clutch, but with the larger slv cyl it's a hell of lot easier than it was.
It's probably even lighter or definitely the same as any wet clutch Ducati I've owned or ridden.
But even the wet Ducati clutch will never be soft like a trail bike.

I too live in hill country and most of my riding is in the twisties.
Where the 14T makes a real difference is in the hairpin turns where previously 1st was too low and 2nd to high.
Now 2nd gear is perfect for the really tight turns and I don't have to feather the clutch in such situations.
Much better for roundabouts and suburb riding also.

I agree it really launches out the turns even more with the 14T.
In fact the bike just absolutely rips now!

Hmmm. You got me interested in in the 14t I also find a lot of the tight turns by me put me in the same situation of not liking 1st or second gear as you stated.

I installed a 14T front a couple weeks back and really like it. This is the third bike (first Hyper) I have done it on and find it far better than stock 15T.

The did the EVR help with false neutrals? Just about ran it into the Pacific this AM hitting PCH off Topanga with no engine breaking

So your saying you hit a falsey on a down shift?
Now that would have given you a fright!

I've only had this bike a couple of months and have never hit a false neutral even with the stock slave.
This is my 6th Ducati though so I make my gear changes quite positive, they're no Suzuki

whats the stock gearing on these? how far down in the front is the 14T.

i went -1F +2R on the speed triple and even that beast wheelies from a lean in the corners now. but, engine braking is increased and also started to wear the center of the tire more. are you guys seing this on the hypers?

Stock is 15/42.

That makes a 14T front, one down.
