*Show Me Your Clutch Cover & Pressure Plate*

DP Antihopping clutch with 4 springs.
Modified carbon cover.

I recently purchased one of these on Ebay.


However, the steel plate that is attached to the back of the plate had a small smile as seen above at about 11:00. I was reasonably certain this was not by design, and that I had purchased a damaged part, but a Google image search rendered the above image. Seems odd, but are there any EVR owners who can verify?

I also read that the first steel plate from the original clutch pack should be removed as the EVR plate has a steel plate attached.

Can anybody verify this?

Thanks in advance.

Note to self: Wipe clutch cover clean before taking pictures. The EVR plate looks too nice to be hidden so much by the cover. Perhaps a minimalist's style cover.

Yes I have the EVR anti rattle plate. You need to remove at least One of the steel plates when you install it. On my M1100 I tried one plate and did not like the feel of the clutch so I took out one of the thick steel plates on the inside of the clutch pack (There are two steel plates (Thick) on the inside of the clutch pack) as well. Clutch worked fine and had no problems with it. Also ignore the shop manual on the pack height mine was nothing like it from factory and even when it was replaced under warranty pre EVR it was not the height stated in the Shop Manual. I have some test sheets somewhere regarding stack height and the EVR, its what I used to get the best feel for my setup.

How do you guise feel about the EVR's performance? significantly quieter?

Thanks! Yes, I did remove the top steel plate.

I can't say that it is any quieter than the stock plate with an open cover. My reasons for the purchase were bling + advertised lower clutch operating temperature. It can get up to 120 degrees here in the desert in the summer, and I have seen my engine temp get up as high as 240. 

By the way, I have also read that a cat eliminator pipe will help lower the engine temp. Has anybody out there ever noticed the lowered engine temps. with a cat eliminator?

There was hardly any difference in noise, I would not recommend buying it if like me you just wanted it to keep the noise down.
I even wrote to EVR and they were pretty lame in their answer "It is not possible to have a silent clutch" Yeah but it sounded the same as the stock plate, I posted a video a while back showing the difference
Ducati OEM vs EVR Anti Rattle Pressure Plate this was when it brand new now its just as loud.
Save your money and do the silent clutch mod sounds way better.

I love the fact that you can hear the engine clearly.

I want this mod. I guess it's blasphemy to say but I really don't like the rattle. My Duc is music to my ears through her RR exhaust, nothing needs to compete with that.
