Clutch swap - info required?

After my first spirited outing at Cadwell on Friday, it appears that 5000 miles of previous owner's commuting has taken its toll on the 620's clutch and she was slipping more than a very slippy thing indeed!!!

So a swap is required. I've swapped clutches in 996s etc, but never a wet clutch. Is this the same process once the oil is drained?

Are they pretty close in construction? Any gotchas with a plate swap?

Thanks
Tim

Rattler,

I've not done one on a Ducati, but the wet clutch on the Mille didn't need the oil drained before the change - just rest the bike on the side stand and all the oil sits below clutch level on the left hand side of the sump/engine.

Could/should be the same for the monster...maybe? Could save a bit of time?

Might work, I've gotta remove the engine side casing completely though as its one complete unit. The tip on side method may still work, but I'll have to pretty much lay her down I reckon.

Thanks

Ive not seen inside a 620 clutch,but I have seen the clutch on the older 600/750 bikes.If you are familier with 996 clutches you should be able to find your way around the wet clutch.
If it was me,I would drain the oil before starting work.If the clutch was slipping real bad,the friction material from the plates could break up and contaminate the oil.
