Title: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: Pedro-bot on May 01, 2012, 07:15:14 PM So from time to time I know someone raises the question about this type of modification.
I previously searched this and TOB without much success on DETAILS. Most of the searches lead to dead ends. Thought I would post this here for other members to use as future reference. Found this link to a UK enthusiast that converted his M620 to dry clutch. Has pics, a list of parts AND an attached document with rough diagram and custom spacer sizes.

Your bike? Any long-term update on reliability of mod? Title: Re: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: kopfjäger on May 01, 2012, 07:27:39 PM NICE!! Your bike? Any long-term update on reliability of mod? No issues. Same as a stock dry clutch. Title: Re: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: Pedro-bot on May 01, 2012, 07:48:11 PM No issues. Same as a stock dry clutch. Hmmm..... How many miles on that setup? Again, your bike? Your write up? ??? Title: Re: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: kopfjäger on May 01, 2012, 08:06:43 PM Hmmm..... How many miles on that setup? Again, your bike? Your write up? ??? 5k no write up as I didn't do the work. (I do what I do for a living so you can do what you do ;)) Bike is flawless. Title: Re: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: Pedro-bot on May 01, 2012, 08:14:28 PM That's a decent amount of miles on that conversion. Great to hear it's holding up fine. [thumbsup]
I think we need more pics of your bike. ;D Thanks for your service.

Just saying...Title: Re: Wet to Dry Clutch conversion Post by: TitanMonsterS4R on May 02, 2012, 06:59:41 AM I'm not talented enough to do the conversion on my own so I priced it out using DucPond to do the work on my 06 S2R 800. Total was in the neighborhood of $2000-$2500 (includes parts and labor). Maybe one of these days I'll drop the coin to have the job done. Similarly buying a good condition engine from an S2R1000 would cost roughly the same amount of money.

Quote Parts needed are, 748 clutch casing 748 clutch basket 748 oil pump gear/crankshaft gear and clutch hub gear 748 clutch plates 3 custom made spacers, these do have to be very accurate. Existing parts used are, 620 pressure plate and retaining springs/cups 620 clutch hub (modified) Checking ebay prices shows about $550 in parts, going by the list above, without custom machined spacers. Though the spacers shouldn't be much more than $50-60 for all 3. Still, definitely cheaper to source a 900/1000 motor.
