Its had an open cover since 1500 miles so there shouldn't be much of a dust issue

I would be very surprised if you need a new clutch mate, they usually last around 12-15K, which is four or five years at today's average of about 3K miles per year.

Even if the dust can get out, you'll still get a honk out of it if you slip the clutch a bit too much pulling away. I haven't got an open cover, my clutch is on about 5K miles now (it's my first replacement clutch after 18K miles) and in a 250 mile ride like we did with the BHC crew last weekend it probably gave a honking sound a couple of times.

Don't worry about it
