Clutch slipping

[Alex-Corsa]

Mainly down to my experiences with the sintered bronze twin plate units available in the early '80's which were awful and wore out in next to no time and my mate Dave's Transkontinental unit that used a bronze plate that wore out in about a week!!!!!

 

We use bog-standard fibre plates in our race bike without problems I just tend to think Bronze is a recipe for rapid wear for little or no gain.

Thinking to change my clutch plates on my 1100iSport , sometime in the future , what are the clutch plates you would suggest (if link available then post too). I have heared that the ones from Guzzi are pretty good ones, then again I have found also these in ebay ,from Frentubo as the seller said to me.

Any suggestions about what lasts better out of experience will be wellcome

 

TIA

The latest Guzzi plate that was designed for the Breva 1100, number 05084430, is the best of the Guzzi plates that I've used so far, and I've used them from every series. They are riveted, and there have been reports of rivets coming lose on all series of riveted plates. I've only personally seen it once, though, and I sell a lot of clutch plates (at Moto Intl.) and have personally changed out at least 50 clutches on my own. Second best is plates from a previous series, 29084450, which are nearly identical to the later plate but start out 0.2mm thicker and cost slightly less. If your local dealer does not have them, we have plenty in stock.

Thanks a bunch for the info ,Do these breva ones fit in a Sport 1100i? The 29084450 is the one mine uses as well.

I order from Agostini here in Europe that I am. I'd be glad to order from you if they don't have them.

Yes, the 0508-series plates will fit all the Guzzi 2-plate clutches.
