did you check the dimensions yourself and compared them to an original friction disc?

No I just made it up for a laugh.


Seriously, I have them in my ST4S. I tried one in the Paso basket just to see whether the Paso basket is the same as the other baskets, and it is.
Lots of people are now putting these plates into Ducati clutches. Why pay megabucks when these are just as good.
They're aluminium btw.

Why has this been moved specifically to the Paso 750 section when it is relevant to all of the dry clutch bikes ?????

the question is if the tabs on the outside and the thickness is identical just to know if they would rattle more and also if the stack height is identical.
I moved it here because you have a P750 and we don`t have a general Paso section. The announcement section is not were it belongs anyway. You can be sure that most forum members don`t only read in one specific forum section so your info isn`t "lost".

I gauge them to be 2.8mm thick, so 7 of them will give 19.6mm, then 8 x 2mm steel and 1 x 1.5mm dished steel will give a stack of 37.1mm if the dished plate was flat - so maybe somewhere in the region of 37.5mm given the convex/concave shape. That's assuming the Paso stack is 38mm +/- 2mm as per the ST's I have. The tangs are a perfect fit.
They're close enough for Rock & Roll in my book.

the original #19110151A are:
id 115.7mm
od (w/o tangs) 140mm
width (w/o tangs) 12.7mm
tangs: height 6.2mm, width 12.1mm, thickness 1.95mm
(friction) disc thickness 2.96-3mm

The Suzuki is a wet clutch.

I have 10 Ducatis (88 Paso 750 - all the way up to a 08 1098s) and the baskets are all the same. Funny how Ducati didnt switch a thing for so many years! I didnt know the Suzuki plates fit thought as I often wonder if a Kawaski ZX7 plate would fit as I have a bunch of those sitting around! I might have to give it a shot!
