Quite a inseresting topic, to which there's never given a definitive answer.
You hear, "you cant ride a bike with a dry clutch like a bike with a wet clutch", "Left against the lever (zero free play) causes problems" quite often.
How much free play should it have at the lever, you dont really get any free play at the lever as such, its always resting on the
hydraulic acttuator. How much pressure on this, causes the clutch to slip? how do you know when theres no pressure on it??
Which begs the question, how exactly are you supposed to ride a bike with a dry clutch?
Most cars have dry clutches, and go on to 80,90, 100k on the original clutch, and there slipped daily.
Unless your dumping the clutch and launching yourself off the start line, drive, lights etc like a drag racer, there is no other way, you have to slip t
the clutch.
Most bikes have wet clutches, and there slipped with no problems. Again, unless your dumping it drag style, you have to slip the clutch.
Now i know the Ducattl is the exeption with a dry multiplate clutch, but again its slipped to obtain a smooth drive.
So how exactly do you ride a bike with a dry clutch?
