[Ducati] 900 SS Clutch Question

[Antonio Nolasco]

There is an advantage replacing basket+disk+clutch hub. The engine revs 
faster and the whole bike feels ligther.
If you are on a tigh budget I would replace OEM disks by Barnett or similar 
alloy Ducati performance clutch plates.
Also consider to change the engine flywheel for a ligth one. This gives you 
a very noticeable advantage in terms of handling (because of gyroscopic 
effect), and acceleration.

Best Regards/ Antonio
95' 900SS
