Wet or Dry Clutch?

Be careful with the 750's though as some (early ones) share the dry clutch of it's big brother!

I thought the only dry clutch 750 ducati-engined bikes were Cagiva Elefant

.....now you have me thinking, trying to remember if I've seen one on a Monster.

They were definitely used on the old 750F1 and I am certain early SS's had them but maybe between those two and the Nelly they had used them all up by the time the 750 Monster rolled out of the factory.

I think they would have been..the f1 and SS had the reverse rear head and no Monster came out with that set up

Dry clutches were definitely used on the early SS's with the rear head 'our' way round (not the proper way?), which I believe got turned around when the original 750 Paso (also a dry clutch I think) came out so they could accommodate the fuel injection unit between the cylinders saying goodbye to those lovely open Dell'ortos.

Guys, looking at a few 620's for sale of similar age (02) I notice some have black cam belt covers and others have the lacquered finish to match the engine. Are these upgraded parts or just typical of model year differences? Are there any major differences between an older 620 and a newer one? Sorry but just being overcautious in my prospective purchase as the 620 is not familiar to me!
