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. [thumbsup]

No issues. Same as a stock dry clutch.

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.
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. [leo] ( ** mods, we need a military smiley, using the leo as a stand in for now. :P )

many of us has worn both hats. Just saying...
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.

they did an SS800 that was run in the MotoST series for 2 seasons and that bike was fine in terms of the clutch...Donnie did a lot of work to make that bike happen and work....

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.
this is well done...
but i can't be the only person that LOVES my wet clutch... right?

Can't say I LOVE it, but I can say I don't mind it.
For now. ;D
