RAM low inertia clutch

[Sbuonline]

Hi guys, I was wondering if this one https://moto-renzo.biz/en/Tecnical-Goods/Clutches-and-Spare-Parts/Clutches-Moto-Guzzi/Clutches-Moto-Guzzi-Spare-Parts/RAM-Clutch.html

would be compatible with a 6 speed or is another 5 speed clutch...cannot find the specs anywhere

I think earlier in this thread they said the 6 speed clutch was no longer available.

the clutch on your link is for 5 speed

We had super-detailed discussion about this elsewhere. I think the summary was that the 5-speed and 6-speed clutches are identical, except for the transmission input hub, which is unique to the 6-speed and is no longer available. However, since you have a Tenni, you already have the correct Ram 6-speed input hub and can use the 5-speed clutch. You will get a hub that you don't need with the kit. 

 

Or you could put a twin plate clutch in. In which case you would need to swap the transmission input hub for twin-plate, six speed part. I'll be yanking a complete twin-plate clutch out of a parts bike in the next few days if you want to go that route.

 

If I were in your position, I'd try the 5-speed Ram clutch with the steel flywheel.

The centre 'button' of the 5 speed has to be replaced with the one already fitted to your Guzzi 6 speed too. This means you have to dismantle the ready assembled RAM unit. The 5 speed pushrod has a smaller diameter.

^ good point on that button - from a person who actually installed a 5 speed Ram clutch in a V11.

Here is a post in one of those threads ("Sticking Clutch") that has a link to craigsinclair's comments, among several other links.

 

The discussion about the RAM clutch in that thread runs from page 2/ Post#25 to page 4/ Post# 54.

 

This will be a good thread to bring together those, like Paradiso, who have done this fitment successfully.

Sbuonline.....

 

seems there are simultaneous threads for your clutch query. The "button" mentioned here is the same part I referred to as a "cup" in the other thread. So as not to confuse further.

You can still get them apparently.
