Well I am even more confused now because the 907 has a different setup. Here is what I have....

The original setup consists of:
1 Single sided friction plate smooth on one side 3.15mm
6 friction discs friction material on both sides 2.38mm
2 Smooth spring discs 1.30mm
3 thick smooth discs 1.82mm
2 thin smooth discs 1.35mm

that is a total of 14 discs that equal about 30mm

the new clutch kit from the dealer is:
1 Spring plate 1.32mm
7 Smooth Discs 1.90mm
7 Friction Discs 2.80mm

that is a total of 15 discs that equal about 36mm

Now, this replacement clutch kit is a ducati set that was for this bike. This doesn't match anything that I have seen yet. To make matters even more complicated I have 2 clutch kits for this bike that are exactely the same. They are factory Ducati kits.
The 907 clutch setup is completely different and it seems to me that the packing order is backwards from the way the bike was originally this could be due to the fact that my 906 has the slave cylinder on the clutch cover and not like the 907 elsewhere.

So does anyone know what the new packing order should be ? Cause the 906 manual, 907 manual, and the haynes have next to nothing for proper amounts of plates and orders. They all have poor information. I was also told about a so called Ducati factory clutch update for early years. But nobody knows about this.

I have bled the clutch system so it is perfect, I did it multiple times to be sure it is good. Everything looks good as far as the slave cylinder, meaning It doesn't look like it is leaking at all.

Hopefully someone will have a good answer for me. Cause the bike is impossible to ride with the clutch this difficult. It currently drags when holding the clutch in, the stack rattles badly occasionally, the bike is tough to shift alot, and never mind shifting into neutral after the bike gets hot. I know these bikes are a bear to ride in traffic but hopefully its better than this.

hi,

first check the steel-plates. may be these are warped.

use copper-grease.
two small dots on each side (a really small anount).

i had the same problems.
- changed the order many times
- merged a new pack with a used one
- found warped disks

the solution was/is the copper-grease

Well I think that I found a solution.
I had two brand new kits each had a new spring plate.

So here was the order I found to work best out of the 20 or so configs I tried. Now keep in mind this only happened when the bike was hot. It was essentially impossible to find neutral, shifting was extremely hard, and clutch would drag big time.

This seems to be the only config that works on the bike.
