What does a motorcycle dry clutch mean?
1 Answers
A clutch that is cooled by air is called a dry clutch. A clutch that is immersed in oil along with the gear wheels is a wet clutch. Functions of a dry clutch: Dry clutches have high transmission efficiency, and most cars use dry clutches. They are rarely found in commercially available motorcycles, with Ducati being a notable exception. Dry clutches experience greater wear under half-clutch conditions and produce noticeable noise at idle. Differences between dry and wet clutches: Using a dry clutch requires frequent gear shifting operations. Unless the rider is highly skilled, the controllability of a dry clutch is generally inferior compared to a wet clutch.
