Panigale V4, Streetfighter V4, Multistrada V4, Diavel V4 Dry Clutch Conversion Kit – KMSF02 DBK

DBK Ducati V4 Dry Clutch Conversion Kit: The Ultimate Performance Transformation

Transform the soul of your Ducati with the DBK Special Parts Ducati V4 Dry Clutch Conversion Kit. This professional-grade mechanical overhaul is engineered in Italy to bring the legendary race-bred performance and the unmistakable “Ducati Rattle” to the Panigale V4, Streetfighter V4, Diavel V4, and Multistrada V4.

By decoupling the clutch friction material from your engine oil, this kit ensures your motor runs cleaner and your clutch stays cooler under the most punishing track conditions.

Performance Engineering: Why Convert to Dry?

A dry clutch is more than an aesthetic choice; it is a functional racing necessity.

• Cleaner Engine Oil: In a standard “wet” clutch, friction dust circulates through your engine oil. This conversion eliminates that contamination, extending the life of your lubricants.
• Thermal Stability: Without hot engine oil bath cooling the plates, the clutch utilizes air cooling (especially when paired with the optional air scoop), preventing “clutch fade” during high-intensity track sessions.
• Optimized Engine Braking: Featuring DBK’s patented Radial Slipper Design, this kit eliminates rear-wheel hop during aggressive downshifts, providing a smoother entry into corners.

Tunable Dynamics: 3-Stage Spring Calibration

Every kit includes three sets of springs, allowing you to customize the lever feel and engagement pressure based on your riding environment:

1. Red (Race): Maximum clamping force for high-torque professional racing applications.
2. Yellow (Sport): The perfect balance for aggressive track days and “spirited” canyon carving.
3. Blue (Street): Optimized for smoother engagement and reduced hand fatigue during daily commutes.

❓FAQ

“Does this kit include clutch plates?”
No. To allow for maximum customization, plates are sold separately. For street/track use, we recommend the DBK DF01 or DF04 kits. For professional racing, the DF02 or DF06 kits are required to handle the increased thermal loads.

“Is the conversion reversible?”
Yes, but it is a complex mechanical process. We recommend installation by a certified Ducati technician. Once installed, the maintenance of the clutch is significantly easier as you no longer need to drain the engine oil to inspect or change plates.

“Will this work on the new Diavel V4?”
Yes. This kit is compatible with the V4 Granturismo engine found in the Diavel V4, providing that aggressive “Superbike” sound to the power-cruiser platform.
