i did a search and turned up nothing. i looked in the manual and part manual and it's hard to tell if and how it comes off.

i'm powdercoating my clutch cover on a 06' 620 monster, there is a black hard plastic cover inside the clutch cover and there are 6 screws  (which leads me to believe it comes out) and i'm assuming i can not powdercoat it with this piece in it. i took out the screws and the cover does not budge. i don't want to use to much force if the piece does not come out.

does this piece come off?

do i need to take it off to powdercoat?

is there a trick to help take this black plastic cover off?

thanks!

You can download the parts catalogue from ducati.com, it shows how it goes together.
With the six screws removed, the two parts should come out.

You will need to remove them for powdercoat.
Also, remove the sightglass, and the seal on the inside of the cover that goes around the end of the crank.

Have them mask the bore that the sightglass goes into.
Also have them mask the mating surface where it goes up against the case, and mask the threaded holes for the oil pressure sender and the oil filler.

thanks for the info about masking, everything is already removed except for that cover. i have that parts catalog and it's hard to tell but i'm guessing it's part # 24310291A. i did remove all 6 screws and like i said it does not budge one bit. i just want/wanted to know if it needed to come out (and you said yes) and also if someone  has taken one out and knows the trick or how to make it easier to remove it without damaging it (which i probably will end up doing). thanks again

Mark at MotoCreations did some work to make a new wet clutch/engine cover. He must have encountered the same thing - contact him?

The inner cover should just pull out and there is a sound deadening cover under that. 

thanks guys! i went downstairs and it about 30 seconds both pieces came off (i didn't know it was two seperate ones). i took a pair of sissors and stuck them between the two and the top one popped off and the bottom one just pulled right off. maybe i'm stupid but it was hard to tell from the parts catalog what was all going on with it so i didn't want to force anything until i was sure it cameout.  thanks.

p.s. sissors to pop covers, hacksaw and butter knife to remove bottom triple washer and race......one of these days i'll have to get an ACTUAL tool working.
