BMW M1000RR Wet Clutch Plates – DFBD08 DBK

The DBK Special Parts BMW M1000RR Wet Clutch Plates Kit (DFDB08) is an Italian-made performance upgrade that prioritizes thermal stability and rotating mass reduction, ensuring your M-Series remains consistent from the first lap to the last.

The BMW M1000RR is the pinnacle of Bavarian racing engineering—a homologation special designed for the WorldSBK stage. When you’re managing 200+ HP and a 15,100 RPM redline, the clutch isn’t just a part; it is the critical fuse between the ShiftCam engine and the rear tire.

“M” Performance: Why Aluminum Carriers Matter

In the world of the M1000RR, weight is the enemy. Standard OEM plates often use heavy steel cores for the friction plates. DBK replaces these with High-Strength Aluminum Carriers:

• Reduced Moment of Inertia: Lighter internal components allow the engine to pick up revs even faster, perfectly complementing the M’s lightweight crankshaft.
• Superior Heat Dissipation: Aluminum conducts heat significantly faster than steel, pulling thermal energy away from the friction material to prevent the “spongy” lever feel known as clutch fade.
• Straight-Slotted Lubrication: Precision-machined channels act as a centrifugal pump, forcing oil through the stack to keep the organic compound cool during high-load launches or aggressive engine braking.

🛡️ Technical Specifications & Stack Architecture

This kit is a comprehensive replacement for the internal stack, meticulously measured to ensure the exact stack height required by the M1000RR’s slipper system.

Compatible Models:

• BMW M1000RR (K66)
• Note: Also compatible with S1000RR models utilizing the high-capacity M-spec clutch basket.

❓ FAQ: Expert Peer Insights

“Is this kit track-ready?”

Yes. While the friction material is organic for better modulation and “feel,” the aluminum carriers are designed specifically to handle the thermal loads of competitive racing. It is the perfect balance for riders who want a “factory” feel without the harshness of a pure sintered race plate.

“Do I need to soak the plates?”

This is mandatory. You must submerge the friction plates in fresh engine oil (the same oil you use in your BMW) for a minimum of 2 to 4 hours before installation. Installing organic plates “dry” will cause them to glaze and slip immediately, ruining the kit.

“Will this work with the BMW Shift Assistant Pro?”

Absolutely. The Shift Assistant Pro (quickshifter/blipper) relies on a clean, predictable mechanical release from the clutch. By providing a more stable friction surface, the DBK kit often improves the “snappiness” of electronic gear changes.

Peer Insight: When installing this kit on an M1000RR, pay close attention to the Steel Plate (B)—the one with the unique inner diameter. It must be placed in the specific position indicated in the BMW service manual (usually the first or last in the sequence depending on the year) to ensure the slipper-assist ramps function correctly.
