Ducati doesn't use a gasket on the left cover.
I coat the CaCycleworks gasket with Teflon and reuse it again and again...
is that gasket for the left or right cover?
if duc doesnt use one on the left what is there? thats where its leaking the worst... like behind the sprocket cover right in front of my chain....
cycleworks has both the left and right cover gaskets. that said, great product, but I just use grey gasket maker because to use those fiber gaskets, you really have to clean and prep the surfaces well... goop just goes on :-X

i went with this option... and it sure does feel good not to be dripping oil everywhere i stop [moto]
Installed lightweight flywheel over the weekend. [evil] Used Cycleworks gasket on the install. Worked great. Lacquer tinner on an old t-shirt woked great to remove the old sealant. Careful with the case paint not sure if the tinner will remove it.
Was it worth the swap? How does it run now? Spinning up a little faster?

Yeah, What B-Man said...
I Don't believe it's not leaking until I see it myself!
You do know Corey's going away is
THIS WEEKEND ...Right??
...?
Running like an Italian made Swiss sewing machine. The new flywheel seems to have smoothed out a 6000RPM vibration I've had. I have not got to really ring it out yet. Played around the block last night. And raining all the way to work this morning. Torque feels very linear, Kinda like RichD's SS. Can't wait to ride it like a stolen tricycle. ;D
some [bacon] for RichD for not talking me into this earlier.
Update on the flywheel.....WOW! [moto]

The stock flywheel is heavy like a steam engine flywheel.
The motor makes good power, but it is released slowly because the flywheels weight/inertia.
This is safe. The general public doesn't have throttle control skill, so an engine that makes gentle speed transitions keeps them from getting in over their head.
Once you get used to the bike and use its full power a lot, you'll want to get more out of it...
The light flywheel allows the motor to rev up fast.
It can be a problem in a turn with minimal traction...
leading to a "highside" crash if you're not careful.
But it also lets it spool up like a two-stroke dirtbike,
will wheelie with ease, and accelerates much better than a stock flywheel.
The opposite side of the coin is true too: When you let off the gas the motor will slow quicker.
This gives quicker compression braking.
This also can lead to problems:
If you are in a steep turn and chop the throttle shut you could skid the rear tire...
If you have good throttle and clutch technique, and you have good feel for traction, it is worth it.

...Well that
WILL keep you from pitching yourself in the ditch
letting off the throttle...
There is no fix for being ham-handed ON the throttle... (unless you're going to buy a 1098R with traction control, of course)
Best 200 bucks you will spend! Abused the bike like a red headed step child today [thumbsup]. To be honest I really dont notice it until I get above 6000 RPM. 6K to rev limit is just a flick of the wrist. Can't wait to get it on the track!!!

If anyone here had
ANY IDEA how hard it was for me to talk you into
spending that $200...
I think it took an honest
year (maybe more)
Glad you're happy with it! ;D
