Wet Clutch vs. Dry Clutch - What’s the Difference? | MC GARAGE

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

If you’ve ever been stopped at a light and heard a sportbike clattering like it’s about to explode, then you’re familiar with the iconic sound of a dry clutch. Dry clutches used to be fairly common-Ducati famously used them for decades-but today the vast majority of motorcycles being made employ wet clutch packs. What’s the difference, why would a manufacturer or a rider choose one over the other, and why are dry clutches going out of style? We explain in this video from the MC Garage.

If you’ve ever been stopped at a light and heard a sportbike clattering like it’s about to explode, then you’re familiar with the iconic sound of a dry clutch. Dry clutches used to be fairly common-Ducati famously used them for decades-but today the vast majority of motorcycles being made employ wet clutches. What’s the difference, why would a manufacturer or a rider choose one over the other, and why are dry clutches going out of style?
What Is A Wet Clutch?
To kick things off lets talk about wet clutches. They’re referred to as wet because they’re bathed in engine oil. The oil’s primary purpose is to cool the clutch plates, and because of this cooling effect wet clutches can take a lot of abuse, like the kind you’d dish out in stop and go traffic. Wet clutches generally have a nice wide friction zone that makes them pretty easy to use. They also tend to last a long time, and they’re quieter than dry clutches. And did we mention that they can take a lot of abuse? That’s a good characteristic, especially if you’re just learning how to ride or don’t want to replace your motorcycle clutch every 10,000 miles.
On the flip side, wet clutches do make your engine oil dirty faster since all the dust that’s created as the clutch wears stays inside the engine. Thankfully, the oil filter takes care of that. The other drawback is that wet clutches are messier to work on. Also, because the clutch is spinning in oil, there’s fluid drag that saps a bit of the engine’s power.
What Is A Dry Clutch?
Avoiding that fluid drag is the single biggest benefit of a dry clutch. Dry clutches, as you might have guessed already, aren’t bathed in oil. That means less drag and more power going to the rear wheel as well as cleaner engine oil, but it also means less cooling for the clutch pack. Without oil to cool things and damp engagement, dry clutches will act up if you hammer them and they tend to be grabbier and harder to modulate. They also wear out faster and are a lot noisier, especially if you run an open clutch cover, which a lot of riders do to help keep the clutch cool.
The rattling clatter of a dry clutch at idle is a legendary sound-especially for Ducatis-but it’s all that noise that’s put the dry clutch on the endangered species list. As noise regulations get stricter, every decibel counts, and switching to a quieter wet clutch means more noise in the budget for other things, like a sweeter sounding exhaust.
Two places you still see dry clutches are on Moto Guzzis and MotoGP bikes. Moto Guzzi still uses them because that’s what they’re used to-and, to be fair, Guzzi’s engine layout of choice, the longitudinal V-twin, encourages the use of a single-plate, large-diameter clutch-and if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. They’re used in MotoGP because in racing every little advantage helps, and as we mentioned before the dry clutch puts less drag on the engine.
In the end, it’s ease of use, durability, and quietness that have made the wet clutch the setup of choice for the vast majority of motorcycles.

    I actually like the "grabbiness" of the dry clutch a lot. I owned a Monster 900 and the noise was just awesome, Termi and open dry clutch makes for a very... "mechanical" feeling. True, it's rough as hell in the traffic but when you open the throttle... Also, the BMW boxer had a dry clutch till the last air-oil cooled version, just few years ago. Completely different beast tough, single huge disk compared to multi disks like the Ducati.

Both have inner-springs and oil/fluids to help lubricate,cushion and keep things "cool" inside the tubes!!! Just my opinion. :)

    Question: I have a 1999 VFR800FI. Once stuck in traffic for several hours (no lane splitting in FL), after so much clutching the lever became so hard I could barely pull it in. I believe that is normal under those conditions but wonder if there is a way to avoid it.Thanks for the many great videos.

    Why didn't you lane split anyways? It's only illegal if a cop watches you do it Lane splitting is the main reason people buy bikes. It cuts down on commute time so much

    @@siddharthsharma8940 Actually, the laws exist despite the presence of a policeman to enforce it. I get what you mean though. I did take my chances as I could but the reason for the hrs of traffic jam was an oil tanker accident. There was already police everywhere and I was no close to any exit. I believe my clutch plates got soaked and caused the lever to be extremely hard to press. I just do not know if other bikes have the same behavior and/or if there is a way to prevent it from happening. The entire situation was out of the ordinary but I still wonder. Note: It is mindboggling to me that lane splitting is illegal in some states.

    Thanks for the video. Never knew the differences between the two. Is that a 916? The 916 was the only motorcycle poster I had on the wall next to my Countach & F40 ones as a kid. Such a legendary bike and timelessly-beautiful design. Still holds up to today.

We might be buying a new bike soon and its one of the little things i'll be definitely thinking about.

    I have to disagree about that "awesome" sound of a dry clutch. To me, it makes the bike sound like it's been poorly maintained, and is just waiting to fly apart. But to each their own.

    I ran stock wet clutch on my Panigale V4S and then switched to dry clutch from V4R with open clutch cover. It sounds seriously angry, I think I am still getting used to it. On the track when you hang off in right hand corners you hear it a lot even with ear plugs. It does take some getting used to.

    My old Norton Commando runs a dry clutch in a primary chaincase. A while back I also converted the primary drive from chain to belt, and in the process I got a deeper clutch basket capable of holding one more plate and one more steel. With the belt drive, there's no chain to lubricate, so the primary chaincase is bone dry -- which is important with a dry clutch, since you don't want the oil bath for a chain getting splashed up onto the clutch's friction surfaces. Then you'll have a non-clutch in pretty short order. For years, I rode a Honda with a wet clutch, and in comparing the two, I'd say that yes, the friction zone on a dry clutch is more narrow. So it's probably not the thing for the beginning rider. It just takes a little more skill to get moving. I should add that my Honda had a six-speed transmission and a relatively "peaky" engine. The Norton has an insanely wide power band, so it only needs four gears. So I do 33% less shifting than most folks One of the biggest things I did to make the dry clutch easier to deal with was install an aftermarket hydraulic clutch release where the old cable was. For starters, that has drastically reduced the amount of adjustment needed (since there's no cable to tension). And that consistency of engagement adds some life to the clutch. The friction zone at the release lever is also slightly wider than it was with the cable. That in combination with a whole lot of vibration not getting transferred up the cable to the handle make operating the clutch easier -- although it's never going to be as easy as operating a wet clutch. Having to replace the friction surfaces more often with a dry clutch is no big deal -- particularly because when you have to do it, you don't have to open anything that's full of oil. (At least this is true on my bike since going to belt drive. If you have to keep a primary chain oiled, this might not be true.) I can pretty much be in and out of my clutch, totally rebuilding it, in under an hour. A full set of plates for my bike is about $80 (as of 2023). And typically I can get 5-6 seasons of riding out of a new clutch. So it's not an expensive proposition. The big plus, however, is being able to make adjustments to the oil used in engine and transmission without having to worry about the clutch. On a bike with separate engine and transmission cases, this is huge. I can pick the perfect oil for the engine, put my favorite gear oil in the gearbox (I can't say enough good things about Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90), and I can not have to worry at all about how that impacts my clutch. My perfect bike (which I have now, I think) has a dry clutch and a hydraulic release mechanism. But a lot can depend on rider skill and preference.
