M62 and I have been talking about clutches and how they work on another thread. She wants to know if you can see the inner workings - are there pictures on here, does anyone know? And I would like to know what it means that my bike has a "wet clutch."

This might help you visualize it better or confuse the heck out of you :D:

Wet Clutch is bathed in engine oil
Dry clutch is not bathed in fluid and is literally, dry.

What a cool demonstration!! You know when a clutch works, and more so when it doesn't - but neat to the mechanics in action.
Thanks for sharing!
