[Ducati] Anyone own a 749 w/Evoluzione clutch slave cylinder?

[Ronald Betts]

Every Barnett clutch I have ever used on my 95 SP has been grabby and noisey 
on initial engagement. I live with it because they dont slip and last a good 
while. Yea the engagement is short and grabby but I guess you get used to 
it. My son will get off of his 999 and take off on my 95 SP and will stall 
it everytime untill he gets used to the short throw on the clutch lever. I 
only use it to take off, stop or downshifting slowley.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
