Dry Clutch

Dry Clutch:

The dry clutch is almost identical to the wet clutch the only difference s there are seals on the shafts that keep oil out. In the dry clutch set up the entire clutch is outside the case of the bike.

There is no oil circulated in to the clutch, which result into clutch knocking on itself. Ducati’s are almost the only bike with this type of clutch.
