I have converted a wet to a dry clutch personally.  Check this pic and see if your bike bears any similarities in the clutch region to my own Cafe-Racer.

Also, PM me with more info and/or pics and we'll discuss and finally put this to rest.

I still say he should just open it.

Even if he does have a dry clutch in there, there is no way bling the cover without chopping it first which will require it to be off the bike. And if he doesn't want to bling the clutch then there's not really any point in figuring out whether or not he actually has a dry clutch in there or not until he decides me needs new plates at which point he'll have to open to do the work anyway and then we'll get our answer. Note that if you do have a dry clutch in there, you might as well cut the cover anyway because that will keep you from having to change oil every time you change clutch packs.  Roll Eyes

Taken the cover off yet?  Make sure you have some cat litter or saw dust ready.

No.  No time, no extra oil. 

If I do take it off, will I need to replace the gasket/seal?

I'm also still waiting to hear from the previous owner, to see if he can shed any light on this mystery.

You will need to reseal.

No gasket.

By that he means the goopy gasket stuff. There is no factory gasket.

If you really want a paper gasket, you might be able to get one from CA-cycleworks.com. I don't remember if all the engines are the same but I know they have both sides (alternator side and clutch side) for the m900 engine. It's nice not having to deal with the goop.

I think the 750 side cover is different.

well perhaps I'll wait until next year then, when I'll be changing the oil anyway.

I really appreciate all of you guys helping me out though.

Any dry clutch owners in the twin cities want to meet up and I can compare the sound?

You say it sounds like a dry clutch. Have you heard a dry clutch before? I think it would be really hard to hear the sound since it does have a full cover on it. You can barely hear a dry clutch bike's clutch if they have the stock cover on.  I think you may just be hearing the valves.

The design of the clutch is basically the same and the only difference in the sound is that the wet clutch is quieter.  You definitely have a wet clutch.  Without a side cover that sits behind the clutch like this



you will have a wet clutch.

In order to fit a side cover like this to a 750 you will need some custom machined components, along with a bunch of other stock parts from a dry clutch setup.
