Seriously?

Because wet clutches have to be closed to keep the engine oil from flying out everywhere. I mean, you could put whatever fancy clutch plate/springs/caps you want on there, but you're going to have to cover it up to keep your engine running.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

More info for ya.  696 and 796 both have wet clutches..I know this because I have had both.  (along with the 848)  The 1100 is the only new gen monster with a dry clutch, believe me, i wish i could get an open cover too.  I have seen people make modifications to the crank case cover that has a poly carbonate window to give us a few more options.  Also, ive heard talk of an "848 conversion" that allows a dry setup to be used on an 848 and seem to remember a discussion on the forum about adapting that to be used on the small new gen monsters.  I just have never had the bankroll to support a project like that...a couple hundred bucks for a cover and pressure plate is no sweat...a couple Gs to modify the crank case and cluch setup...not worth it IMO.  Just get good and used to your 696 for a few years and trade up to the 1100 when your ready (or an s4rs/streetfighter  [evil])

I have an '03 620D, I'm trying to figure out if it's a wet or dry clutch. From everything I'm reading, it's a wet clutch, but it's noisy like a dry clutch. Would love to put an open cover on it. Anyone have any insight?

It is a wet clutch. If it doesn't have a cover that can be removed then it is a wet clutch. Just look at pictures of stock dry clutch bikes like the 900's and 1000DS versus pictures of stock wet clutch bikes like the 620's and 800's and you will begin to see the differences in the clutch side engine covers.

This is what happens when I am bored, have a stock cover,  and a dremel.  Still a lot of cleaning up to do then off to powder coat.
