Firstly im sorry.. who was it who did a wet to dry clutch conversion??
I did a quick search...

Has anyone had a bash at an M600????
Time and cost involved any ideas please????
I really really am keen to have him dry clutched at some point.

At the moment looks like bike will have to be put on hold as my jobs very very unsafe.
And at the worst possible timing I need a op again which means time off .. thats not good for work either, it can't be put off... so I could just cry at the mo...so focusing on something helps me. Even if its something to look forward to next year.


So I want to find out what I can and what do I need to squirrel away in parts?
Im no mechanic .. but I can read I guess.


secondly belt covers..
I have those nice plastic ones... hmmm
They don't seem to get overly hot but if you wanted to get them sprayed and not with Black BBQ paint as I used to spray everything with.

Whats the max temp they get up to??
I have a heat limit on what I want to have done you see....
Don't fancy scraping blobby melted paint off my engine :(

Any advise is great... (not look for a new job ... I am already trying to get a portfolio together :( ...).

It was me that did the clutch conversion.

Really only possible if you have the engine with the clutch slave cylinder on the left side of the bike.

PM me if you need any help. I think the 800 is the same as the 620.

I think the motor's a mix of 800ie and 1098. aircooled 2v, dry clutch (Sigma slipper I think)

I think the gearbox and shift drum are 1098 as well.

AK is forgetfull and tends to put whatever is to hand in the engine is carefully mix and matching to create the ultimate frankenmonster

on this subject,

does a 888SP5 gearbox fit the 1000cc twin-spark crankcases?

Yes it will ....but why would you want to ?????

Why?? that's easy.
together with a longer final drive ratio it would allow a taller 1st and 2nd gear with a still closer 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th gear to keep the EOS rpm as before. Simple
