Happy that it worked out for you mate 👍

OEM way better in my experience by a factor of 3 - YMMV and maybe Barnett has stepped up their game.

It’s not the noise that concerns me, it’s the damage that they cause. Thanks for watching mate 👍

Thanks mate. BTW, mine is a steel basket

I prefer to listen to the exhaust

are you stateside?

Twonkyful Good.

This mod has smoothed the bike out below 3000 rpm, which is the initial purpose for its development. The anti rattle is a byproduct.

Received it finally.

Which is why the friction plate has had the friction material removed from one side

So that's it ! thx

Not sure mate.

Just snug them up.. don't go nuts

There’s a link in the description of this video

Sorry 749R has a OEM crap slipper clutch, my best advice change it over to a normal clutch from other models, then put the modification in that, put the slipper on Ebay and sell it for 175 euro, unless it's a track bike only then a slipper clutch is a good option

I thought you had more mechanical sympathy mate 😂

Welll... yes..... but i love that rattling of the dry clutch!!!! I ride a bevel mate... EVERYTHING rattles in that!

Thanks mate, sounds about right

G’day mate, no you won’t find any links on their website. If you want to purchase one go to the website and find their email and send them a message, or go to their Facebook page and message them there.

It is a bit of a Ducati wank thing. But it does have some cooling benefits and clutch dust builds in side the factory covers. You will notice that most GP race bikes run open dry clutches.

Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions Thanks Andy, ok I get that. I really had wondered.

A fair question. This mod was free for me. The added benefit of this mod, which I now know after riding the bike and subsequently speaking to Toine, is that it absolutely smooths the bike out at low RPMs (in fact that was the primary reason for developing it. The anti rattle was a side benefit). You can now ride it around a roundabout or tight 1st gear corner without having to ride the clutch. The mod that Motominx did definitely shuts the rattle up, but it isn’t free. You would still have to track down a single friction disc.

It doesn't have tangs driving against the basket and If I recall she said there was a slight release or similar issue though didn't cause her a problem. That aside I wonder why Biggelaar didn't choose to go down the more simple and cheaper route of adding a friction plate.

@@ANDY5 Do I detect a bit of diplomacy used here?

@@nightster6378 I am not familiar with the other solution to stop the rattling, we developed this modification in 1992 as then the 900SS changed from the Paso style clutch type to the current type, you would need to make a friction connection between the inner hub and outer basket so these 2 parts will become one piece when the clutch is closed, only way to do this is the fill the space in the back of the basket by the ring we made, then use a spring/convex ring so the basket wich holds the friction plates will be connected to the inner hub wich holds the steel plates, this way you create a friction coupling between these 2 parts with locking them up, so they can still move 1 way under acceleration and the other way during engine breaking. Originally the entire clutch pack is solely mounted on the inner hub and has only a connection with the basket by the friction plates in the grooves, and as the outer basket is the part that is driving by the engine and a Ducati has a offset firing order under say 3000 rpm the clutch pack is hammered back and forth in the grooves. We have sold over roughly 7000 sets or more trough all the years and it's a proven product.

@@ANDY5 It's a dry clutch. Thought all Ducati people had stacks of shot friction disk. 😉

About the bolts, yes I agree with everything that you say, except they’re M5. The Haynes book of fairytales says “refer to the torque value at the start of this chapter”, which of course it doesn’t list. The factory manual makes no reference to a torque value however it recommends 6Nm for any M5 fastener where a specific torque value is not listed. On the pressure plate, again yes. The penny dropped after I had uploaded the video and I was watching it back. However the problem with a pack length too long is not so much a fear of coil binding, the limited stroke of the slave cylinder is more the issue. The rod length doesn’t change which means that the further the rod moves away from the slave cylinder the less disengagement you get and the resulting clutch drag makes it difficult to find neutral.

@@ANDY5 Geez ya split hairs why don't you :) just joking M5 / M6 interesting though as mine are definitely M6 8.8 Class ( They might have been re-threaded by a previous owner though hence the difference) . Probably some ham fist tightening ? . I actually cleaned the Pressure plate surface up on my SS ( I'd say someone didn't have the right arrangement resulting in friction on the Alloy ) . :( So I faced it , about .5 mm and took .5 off the tower's as well making me think some peoples clutch issues could stem from incorrect disc placement. . Yes the slave is the key re disengagement for sure. I have seen some replacement Spring kits (Heavier Spring rate ) that IMHO due to the thicker spring wire in the coil has the potential to bind as there isn't a lot of room in those pockets. Another little trick I have found useful is to file the square edge off the Basket engagement tangs on the Friction plates. this presents a rounded edge to the inevitable wear in the basket slots and allows better disengagement.

Thanks for this sane response! (just snug 'em up FFS - you don't need a torque wrench... )

@@umbertoecho1 I'm not sure if your comment was to be sarcastic or a " like whatever " response but my comment stands though, in my life I have witnessed far too many Owner's and Mechanics get so side tracked by either stated or perceived Torque settings in manuals that may not be anywhere near the true values many manufacturer's have deduced are mechanically viable, but things like this just need to be snug and not tight as hell because the thread is a steel bolt with a relatively fine thread into Alloy a soft metal . So just nice and snug is really all that is required here .

Yeah it’s pretty FUBAR

Go to the Biggelaar Performance Facebook page and message them

@@ANDY5 Thanks for the heads up. I can't wait to have the low end smoothness.

6Nm for the spring torque but not that vital ...

Thanks mate

Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions ,, I’ve never ever torqued mine & they’ve never ever came loose ,, not to say they may never come loose ,, just saying ... you know what I mean!

LOL, mental health issue

Piss off Steve 😂

@@ANDY5 I cant iam in lockdown 🤣🤣
