That is the only thing that puts me off them (and the sound of the clutch)

As G said, dry clutch is noisy if you open it up...I like the noise so I have. If you don't like it the standard cover does a very good job of muffling it until you can barely hear it over the exhaust if you have the termi.

Dry clutches as a mechanical item are fine. Much the same as the wet clutch but in my experience is slightly more difficult to take off with...but it just takes a wee bit of practice.

Err no I meant take off as in when you are at a stand still and when the lights go green you 'take off' as it were.

Na to get the clutch out is a very very simple...6 bolts n its out.

Mej anytime we happen to be on a ride together no problem mate.
