The sensor shims come in I think three thicknesses. There's always a flat sheet o' glass and some 400 grit.
Right...

but if you have the thinnest shim installed from the factory and the gasket is thicker than that, what then?

hmmm? Grin Have the cover milled?

Otherwise the gasket will work fine.

The gaskets are .015" thick. There almost always is a thin and a thick shim behind the sensor. The thin one is also .015" thick. Take it out when reinstalling. On the clutch side, haven't heard of or seen any affects with having the cover be .015" farther outboard.

Thanks!

I'm still undecided on the gaskets.  Love the gasket idea, but I also have a new tube of sealer on the bench.  I don't need to decide until my shifter parts come in from Italy....

My M695 has what appears to be a single 1mm shim installed.  As mentioned, Ducati offers 0.6, 0.8 and 1mm shims.  With the info from Chris I could swap in the 0.6mm shim with his gasket and be good (1mm - 0.6mm = 0.4mm = 0.0157").  Probably best to take the actual measurement to verify the sensor gap.

Yeah... double check that. When I was first researching this, the thin gasket was stuck to the sensor and I had to pry it off with a razor blade. I made the gaskets because I was brought up working on Japanese bikes... even those from the 70s and 80s would seal up without too much goo. So my "goo sense" was built using them... Ducatis just don't seal up as well, so I always have to take them back apart, scrape all the goo off, and try it again with more goo. Sometimes twice. Tongue With the paper, it works. No goo required. AND the paper gaskets are often reusable and still with no goo required.

In case you didn't get it, I really don't like scraping goo from engines and covers.

A lot.

Are there any tricks to maximize the likelyhood of paper gasket re-use?

from my jap bike experience, high temp bearing grease on the paper gaskets yields a good success rate of reuse

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

+1 ... though I never bother to do the best practice with my own bikes. They've done pretty well going on dry. Smiley Pongo was a at least 18 months and the alternator cover came off without tearing.
