Hi there,

Is there a special way to ride a bike with dry clutch? or is it the same as a wet clutch. I always feather the clutch at the lights is that bad for a dry clutch. My bike does the rattle when i pull the clutch sounds mean

Just don't sit at lights with the clutch pulled in.

Wears out faster. You shouldn't do it on any vehicle.

I'm sure it's very little if measurable at all.

It`s more release bearings & pushrods that get worn by holding the clutch in for long periods.

Because the NSR has a standard ball push rod bearing it isnt good to load it for long periods (holding the clutch in) and all the load is forced to the side of the bearing. With the clutch disengaged it also lets the plates "rattle" more also causing clutch basket wear... we all do it though Rolling Eyes
