Not all dry clutches make noise, nor do they wear quickly, yada yada yada ...

Truth.

(hi by the way)

The louder they are, usually the plates are more worn, and usually mushrooming. At least, that's what I've found with the various Ducs I've worked on. The dry slippers have more of a jingle bell ring and rattle than normal dry clutch nutandbolt rattle.

Falls under the "knowing your bike" thing... you *know* how it's supposed to sound and feel (even if it rattles "normally").. if that sound changes, you know something is up.

But, it doesn't *clatter* or *clunk*. A dry clutch has a ring to it...

Believe me, when something is wrong, she will let you know.
