Great video. Clear, concise, and informative. And the part numbers list is the final icing. Now feel I cna go ahead and do mine with no problems. Thanks again.
I have Termis and Werkes on my other Ducatis. The Werkes are pretty crazy, but I like those best on my superbikes. The Termis? Love the sound, but I agree, I prefer the Arrows on the Monsters. 👍
My Barnett plates have been slipping since day 1 on my S4RS. From a stop it is OK. If I need to do a pull at speed they slip. A couple times trying to change lanes on the freeway and get on it they slip. Almost caused me to get in a wreck by not accelerating when expected. Not sure what else to do. I have cleaned them, assembly is correct, new springs, but still the same result.
I'll be honest, I've had similar problems, but only on my Monster. The next time I change plates I'm going to try something else. In the meantime, I'm constantly blowing the dust out of the clutch. That does a pretty good job.
How's the Barnett clutch holding up? I put one in my old monster 900. Was really quite and worked great. I bought an 07 s2r1000 a few months ago and this winter I was going to replace the plates with a Barnett kit...
I've not had the greatest luck with these, but maybe it's the bike or how I ride. It seems like it starts slipping after about 3k miles, so I take it apart and clean it and keep the cycle up until I break down and buy new plates. Maybe I'm a kook and don't know how to ride! But I get much more life out of the clutches on my other bikes, three of which are Ducati's with dry clutches.
@@surfmoto hmm that seems odd. Idk what clutch and plates are in the s2r I just bought but I'm at almost 3k miles since I bought it and no signs of anything at all. It's just alot louder than my 900s clutch. I know my clutch fluid gets beat up real fast on my s2r though..
@@zacha8934 Yep, it's odd alright. Researched it a bunch but haven't come up with anything. Changed the slave. Adjusted it all different ways. Just how it is. No matter. I LOVE my S2r. So much fun!
It has always been suggested to me to not use Barnett plates. Wet clutch also. Not sure why. The lure of a buck saved with these bikes is super strong, but best to go OE on the plates.
Hey! I believe so. I've never worked on the 800. It's been the same for all of my Duc's, except my 848 (sold) that had a wet clutch. In fact, most of the parts fit many other dry clutch Duc's. The parts might look a little different, and the clutch plate stack might have a different number of plates, but I doubt it. Anyhow, it's really simple to do. Just be sure to line up the marks on the drum and and the pressure plate. Mine is aftermarket, so it looks different. The marks are more clear on stock. You can barely see them at about 2 o'clock (3:31) on my pressure plate. That's the one thing most people screw up. Once. ;)
You put a micrometer to my clutch plates! 😂 seriously, I wait until they’re slipping pretty bad to spend the $$ on new plates. Maybe they’re clean cuz I’m always air-blasting the dust out? 🤷🏼♂️
I have 33,000 miles on my 1098 and have never touched them. I was starting to get some squawking and judder on takeoff so I took them out a few days ago and they were black and look like there was nothing left. Also seemed a little gummy. I put a caliper on them and they were still well within spec which certainly surprised me, but the dogs on the friction rings are like half their original size and the cage is shot. I cleaned them with engine degreaser and dishwashing liquid. Took it out for a ride and the clutch worked better than ever, arguably on one of the torquiest Ducks out there. Blowing them out certainly could be it as I have never done that. That, combined with a little oil getting past the o rings on the rod over the course of 33K will do it. Have new frictions on the way and I will have to add blowing out the pack to my standard clean and oil the chain after every ride. Thanks for the video! Nice touch on the part numbers.

Thanks! I think you’ll find it pretty easy. And way less messy than a wet clutch!
full arrow exhaust gives the best sound=)

Great vid. Really like the big, clearly written instructions.

Gracias por el vídeo me sirvió mucho...
Una pregunta donde venden esa misma llave que usas ajustar la presión de las tuercas del clutch?
Gracias! Lo siento por la respuesta tardía. Si estás hablando de la llave dinamométrica, creo que conseguí la mía en Harbor Freight.

@@surfmoto I really love mine as well. Now I just need to find a nice s4rs for track days lol
@@zacha8934 my buddy has an S4RS and he loves it. Always has to show me up with his wheelies. 🤣

Can’t say for sure which last longer, but it seems like the Barnetts start slipping sooner.
thank you for the video I liked it very much =)
Glad you liked it! 🙏🏻
Hi there. Great vid. Would this be the same process for an '07 s2r800?

Those plates you took out looked brand spanking new.
