I am fairly new to ducati's and have a 1000 DS SS.

I have a few questions regarding the dry clutch.
1. I know it is normal for them to be noisy, but can they be made to be quiet(er)?
2. How long do they last?
3. I have seen open type clutch covers and they look very trick. I would like to fit one but.... does it have any downsides eg clutch slipping in the rain or very dusty...

Thanks in advance for your advice
