Dry Clutch versus Wet Clutch
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 2:35 pm
TECHNICAL QUESTION for one of you K MODEL Gurus:
I was talking to an experienced bike builder today and he is rebuilding a 53 K model motor. He said they modified their 53K clutch assembly, using an aftermarket set up, to use a wet clutch system in lieu of the dry clutch. Apparently it is due to the dry clutch having so many issues with leaking fluid and then slipping clutches.
Discussion....begin please....
