Yes it's meant to, and it's awesome! Don't convert it!

What you may find is that the rubber dampers have perished, and it's louder than it should be.

Remove the plastic cover, and see if you can spot four rubber blocks on the outer edges of the clutch plates. (Have a look at the parts section to see more clearly what I mean).

If they're missing, the clutch still works fine, but is louder than Honda intended.
