When racing a bike with no low end torque the clutch takes a beating when the green flag is waved, especially on a ported two stroke. Fairly often when you come in after a race you may need a new clutch before the next race or practice session.
Six screws out, fresh plates in, 6 screws back in..done, between rounds. No oil, gaskets, covers, levers or pedals to deal with and a lot less chance of an leak developing. Then you have time to rebuild the top end of the engine too. I love those smoky (2-stroke) bastards but they sure do have to be worked on a lot.
I like the sound of a dry clutch. When you hear it all the time you can hear the difference between a happy and unhappy clutch pretty easy.
