I presume no one here yet has done this conversion here.

What exactly would converting the Panigale to a dry clutch entail? Simple blocking the oil passage way? I don't have any plans on doing it soon at least. But, it's something I would certainly like to consider for the future just to put the classic Duc soul/sound back into the bike.

Heres the link.

If they want to sell that product maybe they should invest in better cameras/ sound equipment. All the noises just bleed together in those videos, as I reach for the mute button.
 
dunno, why take a step back, the wet clutches are much less problematic.

The only downside is aftermarket can't take lots of our $$ so we can bling up the dry clutch. ;)
 
Ive got a 700whp Mitsu Evo...trust me I've made endless amounts of $$$$ aftermarket purchases that Ive said to myself...what the hell was I thinking?

Toys are never money friendly!
 
So what's the benefit of the dry clutch? Is this just a heritage or looks mod? I've only owned Jap bikes until now, and am pretty happy with the feel of this wet clutch.
 
Advantages of a wet clutch:
-lasts longer
-handles abuse better (e.g., can stay partially engaged without overheating)

Advantages of a dry clutch:
-doesn't contaminate the engine oil
-more efficient in terms of power transfer (since the oil in a wet clutch absorbs some of the energy that would normally go to the transmission)

But the Ducati owner's reasons, are sound (dry is noisey), and looks (you can see it), and all the aftermarket covers.
 
The stock wet clutch system is from a Suzuki 1000 with a modified case for the Panigale. Who makes a dry-clutch for the GSXR? I bet the parts are similar.
 
It's an acquired taste obviously from the comments so far. I actually miss my dry clutch as a Ducati fan. It's the rattling sound that I really miss from the previous bikes. Pulling up to a stop light and laughing when people ask me if my bike is falling apart, lol.

In my opinion, it would take more money than intellegence. But hey, that's just my perspective.

I've been thinking that was always for the ability to work on the clutch without draining fluids every time. They don't need to worry as much about cost, longevity, or reliability...
 
I've already installed the 8 track player on my Pani, next will likely be Termi's and then the Bursi dry clutch.


Why did we buy Panigales? I certainly didnt buy a Panigale for a wet clutch. You're telling me if the Pani didnt come with a dry clutch, you'd have avoided it? BS.
