Very important info. I was wondering if it's possible to fix this issue with spacers/washers and you just answered my question. Opens up some chain choice options. Thanks!
If ducati just redesigned the bottom spacer so it didn't have to be ground out or spaced, it would be fine. I believe Darren who had a play around with this has sent a design to some fabricators to see what they can do.
As the countershaft sprocket wears, you could possibly reduce or even loose the clearance. This is one of those mods that might add reliability and reduce it at the same time.
Great video🙏. Im currently prepping my DX for trip to South America. The clutch master lack of clearance worries me. I was contemplating putting on an Oberon Unit -do you think it might have better clearance.? I am ordering new chain and sprockets.
@Sean-gu3tq Thanks, I dont have any experience with the Oberon Units, but this little modification worked great across the Australian desert. A HD chain is definitely worth it, dont have to keep adjusting the OEM chain due to stretch.
I've stuck some stick-on wheel weights to the flat bit of that bar. Engine vibrations are still there around 3800rpm but the crash bars vibrate significantly less now. Would say its about 90% gone.
Huh, I'll have to try this. I have the same resonance at nearly exactly 4K that everyone mentions with the OEM bars. Everything is nice and tight but giving it a good hit on either side definitely has a rattle. The vibration doesn't bother me as much as the really high pitch noise I can hear even through plugs.
@@KingJreff Yea, I think the cause of all the vibes between 3500 and 4000 is caused by that cross bar. Happens at exactly 3800rpm. Have tested it setting by setting cruise control on in 3rd or 4th gear at 3800rpm.

I originally had the vibration issue untill I torqued them correctly then it was all good. But the welds are a bit of an issue in some places.

What crash bars would you get today if not factory ones?
Probably outback motortek and b&b bashplate.
Thanks man!
What dealer
A Ducati dealership. Or do you mean which dealership?
@@koalakoncepts Yer dealership mate. No biggie.
Be careful of any.
