wet vs dry clutch whats the difference?
I know the wet clutch is basically soaked in oil all its life, where the dry clutch isnt, but other than that, whats the difference/advantage of one over the other?

A dry clutch allows you to be arrogant about your italian exotica to people who innocently ask why your bike sounds like the engine is shattering.

I would have to think that the loss of friction and HP of spinning an oil bathed clutch has something to do with it. But with there TQ numbers this can't be the main reason for the switch. Maybe oil contaminatin also?

I had a dry clutch once.
Then I added oil and it was wet again.
