$9500

Wednesday I drove all the way to Dayton, OH from Raleigh, NC to pick it up (9h each way). But i think it was worth it. Bike seems to be in top shape.

I priced out a brand new '07 750 plus same mods - 18K range.

Gonna test it out Monday @ VIR Full.

Congrats on a gorgeous bike at a great price!!

My SafetyFirst bike was originally equipped with a quick drain for the fuel tank. It was simply a tube leading from a nipple welded into the bottom of the tank. The tube had a valve at the end of the tubing. There would be no way of stopping the flow of fuel in the event the tube was pulled off of the nipple. Consequently, I had the system removed.

Well, the thing is unbelivable.

If you keep it above 9k, it pulls just as strong if not stronger than my 999. Handling is superb. Transitions are effortless.

Dynojet quick-shifter is THE SHIT. On the straight, full throttle, no clutch not letting off the throttle just click and you're in next gear .... but wait !! it's time to shift again. Thing revs up so quick and pulls so incredibly strong up top, i had no trouble staying with 1000s and i was walking away easily from 600s and a couple of 999/RC51s out there.

Basicaly i dialed it in PERFECT.


Now the bad news. I did 3 full track days on it without any hint of problems. During the last day at Barber this weekend i grabbed a down shift and ... well either the clutch disintegrated or the transmission is dead or both. Wheel spins (with significant drag) regardless of whether you have clutch in or out and shift lever does not move anywhere. If the engine is running and you release the clutch, engine stalls instantly. Taking clutch cover off this week hoping it's just the yoyodyne clutch thats dead.

The way I look at it, even if i have to drop 1K or about or a new transmission, i still got an incredible deal. And the fact that bike ran superb 3 full track days without any hint of trouble tells me that it's very unlikely that the previous owner knew this was about to happen.


Overall, I am in love with this thing. Can't wait for spring!

I have yet to hear someone hate the bike!

Glad to see you have a newfound love in the garage, sorry to hear about your mechanical issues tho.

Were you really working the slipper during these three days?

I think so In general I let slippers do their job. I had yoyodyne slipper in my 999 for 3 years ... never failed on me.

Wonder if Yoyodyne slipper for 750 is not as durable as their 999 model? I mean what is a slipper for if you not gonna let it spool up

I am still not sure if it's the slipper or transmission ..... i'll find out soon.

Default Let us know

Keep us posted on what you find.
I went from a full on Ducati RS corse bike to my 2006 GSXR750 and also love it the GSXR.
I am very curious as to what happened.
Keep us up to date on what you find and good luck.

It may not be as bad as you think. It sounds like it MAY be that the previous owner did not put the clutch pack in correctly. I know on the yoyodyne slipper clutch on my r6, you skip the first steel plate when creating the clutch stack. Never thought about it much until my clutch just went on my 998. I had replaced the stocker with a slipper and had new plates put in the new slipper. My clutch eventually went and it happened 1/2 way through a track day weekend. I had the old one and just threw the stock stack in (i had kept it for a spare).

Lo and behold, during the day during an upshift transition my bike kind of feels like it grabs a false neutral but won't come out. Killed my day, figured something was really wrong (kind of like you). Few of the nice guys on the ducati forum were kind enough to point me in the direction of checking the clutch pack. The stocker starts with a steel plate and the slipper is supposed to begin with a friction plate. The reason, the steel plate does not have tabs to hold it in place and can actually slide behind the clutch drum when slipping and get stuck in place, not allow the clutch to reengage.

I pulled out the plates with a magnent and when all of them were out, I took a look at the drum and sure enough a steel plate was stuck behind the clutch drum. I removed the boss nut and pulled off the basket and was able to remove the steel plate and reinstall the stack. Seems to have done the trick.

If the guy had the clutch installed and then followed the shop manual to install a new clutch, there is a decent change he installed the stack incorrectly.

Give it a shot.
