[Ducati] 999 SERVICE.

[Brez998]

Eric,
  I have had just about every clutch problem one can have with a dry clutch. 
They are fairly simple.  Periodically check the bearing in the pressure 
plate.  When that goes it takes out your slave cylinder.   Remove the 
pushrod (mine broke at the o-rings on the slave side)  and check the o-rings 
on it and in the cap that is in the pressure plate.  I also usually blow out 
the whole clutch area.  I would pull off the slave and check the bore for 
scoring.  Just remove the 3 bolts on the sprocket side and push the piston 
back in the bore.  I have an aftermarket slave and there is 2 grommets and a 
shoulder washer, I can't remember the stock set-up but take care to 
reinstall in the same order is was before.  Also not when replacing the 
pressure plate, it needs to be installed in a certain position.  If you have 
a stock pres plate there is an arrow or triangle that need to lined up with 
the post with the slots in it.

Hope this helps!
