hello chaps

my QS is fine, but going down gears with the clutch is awful

with clutch pulled in and changing gear i can feel a mechanical clunk through the left lever, like cable snappin\

SHOULD USING CLUTCH BE SMOOTH WHEN GOING DOWNN GEARS??

is this normal? ducati says its normal

to me after CBRS it feels wrong

Down shifting on my 899 usually has a noticeable click/clunk. With rev matching it seems to drive smooth enough but the transmission itself definitely seems to have a clunk.

thanks for reply

it feels like a cable snapping every time, lever jumps in about 5mm, i have driven vehicles, vans , trucks etc, nothing like this, it felt like there was something being damaged

it was almost impossible to rev match

yesterday it wasn't going into first

turns out i have it under warranty, so its going back to ducati, which is a relief

definitely doesn’t sound normal! Post back with what they find.

After I added a slipper clutch the thunk feeling when when changing from higher gear to lower gear was much more noticeable. Does your 899 have an aftermarket slipper clutch installed?

as far as i know no slipper clutch, feels like something breaking

its going to ducati on thursday
