clutch master swap or rebuild?
I've noticed over the last few months that it seams like my clutch pull is getting more and more difficult, and it is to the point now where using 1 finger to clutch up a wheelie is quite difficult.
Has anyone had this issue before?
Would rebuilding my master and slave help this issue?
Has anyone swapped clutch masters for an easier clutch pull? If so which master is the best to use? (I was thinking swapping to a radial)

Far as I know all late model Ducs use the same MC. Mine came from a Monster 1100 but it's the same unit used on all 848/1098/1198 series bikes, for example. If you find one, perhaps do a cross-reference with an aftermarket lever mfr (like Pazzo) to make sure it's the same. If the lever is shared, it's the same unit.
I can't comment on the stroke as it's been a while since I changed, but the Brembo is very smooth and light and disengages the clutch fully, which is all the matters.

I know this is old thread, but I had to test drive a busa today after rebuilding most of front end. I didn't realize how hard my clutch pull had gotten until riding busa. My levers are cut down for 2 fingers, and has gotten extremely hard. Busa was like nothing, It is time to do some maintenance or upgrade!

I used an older CBR or VFR m/c with integrated reservoir.
It has a light pull and is silky smooth. But the volume may be a touch low since the shifting (not pull) seems smoother with the stock m/c.

So how do you perceive it better? What about, feel, release, pressure, feedback or whatever is better in the OEM Duc Brembo clutch master cylinder. And was that comparing to fully working serviceable OEM VTR master or replacing one that had many years of use and needed a rebuild?
What year and model Ducati is best for donor ?
Thanks

Lighter and smoother action... works for me.
In terms of year and model, mine was sourced from a Monster 1100 but I think most all late-model Ducs use the same radial clutch MC (a 15 x 18). Your best bet is to cross-reference any potential unit with the Monster unit, for example (recommend using the Pazzo site for lever fitment for this purpose)
