2008 Ducati 848 OEM clutch problem
Technical Assistance Please!
Here is a breakdown of the situation:
-Was riding fairly hard one evening when all of a sudden I lost all pull in my clutch lever (could not pull in more than 1/8")
-Could not get into/out of any gear & or neutral
-Bled clutch master/slave cylinder multiple times with no improvement
-Replaced slave cylinder (with another oem slave) as I noticed an oil leak and suspected possible seizure of unit
-Bled clutch master/slave multiple times
-Regained clutch lever movement but still could not get bike into/out of gear
-Opened clutch case to find last clutch plate had seperated from the stack spun and become lodged under pressure plate
-Removed springs and pulled off the pressure plate
-Discovered clutch basket hub nut had come completely loose/off shaft
-Removed clutch plates
-Reattached hub nut (not to spec as yet but approx. 100ft lbs for test purposes)
-Cleaned all debris from inside clutch case/cover/plates as the pressure plate had been making contact with inner case and wore down the paint
-Reinstalled clutch friction/steel plates exactly as they were removed
-Reinstalled pressure plate/springs to torque spec
-Pulled clutch lever multiple times to ensure pressure plate is seperating from stack (although a bunch of the plates are sticking together)
-Reinstalled clutch case/cover
-Did full oil/filter change and cleaned mesh
-Bled clutch master/slave a couple more times
-Started bike while on stand, bike can shift through all the gears no problem
-But .... now even when clutch lever is pulled in the rear wheel continues to spin fairly quickly
-With bike on the ground when I shift into 1st/2nd gear the bike automatically shuts off and lunges abit forward
-If I try to start the bike in 1st/2nd with the clutch pulled fully in the bike pulls forward but will not start
-Have bled clutch master/slave multiple times
-Help please
-Thank You
