I get to go try her out tomorrow....

Its a toss up on if Im more jealous of the Ducs or the track.

ha, you love being idolized by all of us less fortunate dont you?

had it up to speed yet, done any downshifts at 100mph?

Plz adopt me.

No, I'm not idolized by anyone. At least, I haven't gotten that memo yet. I'm just giddy that I have the best bling there is to have... performance bling. And, it's red and sparkly (that doesn't hurt).

I'm playing with it tomorrow. So, I'll let you know. I get to play with it to see if the shim I was given is needed or not. Aint skeerd..... much.

Any difference between dry slipper and wet slipper? Clutches, I mean.

Goes good with the fucked up coolant bottles.

Dry sounds broken :idk:

Back tire doesn't lock up like a motherfucker when downshifting, it's dreamy. It does go great with those blown up bottles, doesn't it??

I've heard varying opinions on Ducati slippers. Bucci, STM, Sureflex, are the main one's I hear good things about. I think I'm going to try EVR, after I get the suspension sorted...

You have a stock slipper, right?

Only the 1098R comes with a slipper. The base and S models come with a good ol' ball-smashing regular clutch. Pistons that are almost 6 in across make some massive engine braking...

I'm surprised the S doesn't have one.

Mine are just a tick over 4in... but I still love my slipper.

Yeah, you're right. 4.09 inches or 140mm. Fucking metric system...

I don't do math. Luckily, my girl is an accountant so I don't have to!

Yup. I have the Surflex on the 748, and this one is the four spring MotoWheels that uses the Surflex plates. The only thing Randy (my mechanic) told me to worry about is it eating plates. So, I have a spare set of plates here waiting.

i hear a slipper doesnt just make downshifting smoother, but theres no need to match revs AT ALLl, just downshift-as in foolproof.

that true?

Not sure on the Ducs, but on the 1125, it is pretty much true except for 2-1 shift.
I still match revs a bit, to make it smoother yet, but I've tried just jamming it down, and it takes it, no wheel lock up. Except for 2nd to 1st. That's a bit jerky without a blip.
