DesertX/Monster 937/Multistrada V2/Scrambler Wet Clutch Plates – DFBD06 DBK/Ducabike

DBK Ducati Wet Clutch Plates: Precision Engagement

The DBK Special Parts DesertX/Monster 937/Multistrada V2/Scrambler Wet Clutch Plates Kit (DFBD06) is a premium Italian-made upgrade designed to replace the often “grabby” factory plates with a system that prioritizes thermal stability and a broad, predictable engagement zone.

Whether you are slipping the clutch through a technical rock section on a DesertX or launching away from a stoplight on a Monster 937, the way your plates manage oil and heat determines your control. The DFBD06 kit is engineered to provide a “factory+” feel that exceeds OEM performance standards.

The modern 937cc Testastretta 11° engine powers Ducati’s most versatile machines—the DesertX, Monster 937, and Multistrada V2. These bikes demand a clutch that can handle everything from technical off-road climbs to aggressive canyon carving.

The “937” Performance Advantage

• Organic Friction Material: Unlike harsh sintered plates that can feel like an “on/off” switch, these organic plates offer a progressive “bite.” This is essential for the low-speed maneuvers required in off-road (DesertX) and touring (Multistrada V2) scenarios.
• Aluminum Core Construction: By utilizing high-grade aluminum rather than heavy steel for the friction plate carriers, DBK reduces rotating mass. This results in a more responsive engine feel and better heat dissipation through the clutch stack.
• Oil-Scavenging Straight Slots: These precision-machined channels act as a pump, moving oil across the friction surfaces to prevent glazing and “clutch fade” during high-stress situations.

❓ FAQ: Expert Installation Insights

“Is this kit better for off-road or street?”

It’s actually the perfect hybrid. For DesertX riders, the organic material allows for the precise “feathering” needed in technical trails. For Monster and Multistrada riders, it provides a smoother, quieter engagement than the standard factory plates.

“What is the most common mistake during installation?”

Not soaking the plates. You must submerge the new friction plates in clean engine oil (the same oil you use in your Ducati) for a minimum of 2 hours before installation. Installing them “dry” will cause the organic material to burn and fail within the first few miles.

“Do I need special tools?”

You will need a standard metric tool set and a torque wrench. It is vital to torque the clutch spring bolts to factory specifications (usually around 10Nm) to ensure even pressure across the new plate stack.

Peer Insight: If you’re a DesertX rider who spends a lot of time in the dirt, you know how hot the clutch can get when you’re “working it” in first gear. The aluminum construction of these DBK plates is a massive help here—it pulls heat away from the friction surfaces faster than the stock steel-core plates, helping you avoid that “spongy” lever feel at the end of a long trail.
