Managed to source a lightweight crankshaft that needs some work 🙂 (thanks Boelo!). Orignally used in a Ducati Supermono. Side by side with the orginal one. Major difference in weight. I will also be going for a lightweight steel flywheel. Because of this setup i will need go for a trial and error approach on what i find comfortable riding the bike. A lightweight crank and flywheel together with the high compression of a Ducati will engine brake like crazy when closing the throttle. Maybe in combination with the slipper clutch this is going to be fun ;)?!

I will also be installing a 1098 gearbox in my engine. This is because the Multistrada 4th and 5th gear are in a overdrive configuration. This means we now have a close ratio gearbox. Also the 1098 gearbox has lighter gears, hollow gear fork shafts so its a must haha ;). Some really good documentation about Ducati gearing can be found here, Brad the Bike Boy, General Ducati gearing
