Dry Clutch changeover

Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:55 am » Post: #1 » Download Post

Hey everyone.
Just wondering if it is possible to put a wet clutch on my MC28. Currently has a dry clutch and it is quite annoying, even with a helmet on. If it is possible, could someone give me a brief overview of what it involves.Is there any reason for having dry clutches?
Thanks

The wet clutch has slightly more resistance than the dry clutch, due to spinning in the oil bath (so I've read) making the dry clutch better for racing- and giving that race rep cred for a street-bike.

And of course its possible. you just need a complete wet clutch, clutch cover and transmission for an MC18-28 Wink

<<~~ Laughing at Si! Laughing

If you want a wet clutch setup, I'm sure there are dozens, probably more, that will rip your arm off for an exchange of parts! Smile

Assuming this isn`t a wind-up, I`d reconsider doing this if I were you.

If you do go ahead with this sacrilege, keep it to yourself! Wink

If you do go the wet route, you may have to consider a new name. Something along the lines of princess37, maybe? Razz

You are actually right, that there isn't much sense in having a dry clutch on a road bike but since when does it make sense to have a 2-stroke any way ;o)

The main reason for having a dry clutch is the ability to change the plates in it, without having to change gearbox oil and the lower drag. BUT the NSR is the only roadbike apart from a Ducati, that has that RACY sounding clutch.

People who know racing bikes, will look admiring at you and assume that yours is a real racing bike with plates, as soon as they hear that chatter of the clutch.

Its the biggest BLING factor on a bike, AND THE OTHER GUYS CAN'T BUY IT FOR MONEY

PS I wouldn't even consider a NSR250R, You could probably find an R owner who would swop bikes with you, especially if yours is a real SP

Wet clutches are the way to go. Less noise, last longer, don't upset the neighbours, and you'll never again have to put up with the question: "hey, is your bike broken mate?"

Please send all worthless SP parts to: Matt P..........etc.

miss the sound from my old 28, my bike now has an R motor and can't wait till i get a dry clutch setup

in the end the sound will grow on you, so just keep it for the moment until you really get sick of it, if u do ever change i'd be up for a swap
