Hey, I just got a centrifugal clutch installed on my china girl, the peddles dont clear the clutch with the new cover on, but it does if the cover is off, so, while I wait for my wide cranks to come, I took her for a test ride without the little cover over the centrifugal clutch, I must say, I love the look and being able to see the whole thing working,how damaging would it be to run it uncovered? would the dust cause that much harm? the kit has a little hole ( for what reason, im not sure) on the cover anyways, so I was wondering if it may be ok to just ditch the cent. clutch cover all together.
Running without a clutch cover, probably a bad idea?

Woops, wrong clutch cover thread.
What I meant to say was...
The only time I run with the cover off is when I'm adjusting the clutch and rolling around by where I'm working at. As soon as I'm done, that cover goes on. I really don't want to replace those gears if say, a shoelace with a metal aglet gets sucked in there, or a rock or anything.

Possible problems I can see are:
Caught clothing, grit and dust getting in, water/moisture getting in, grease not staying in, and possibly more noise.
If you wanted to maybe see all the stuff working, It would be kinda neat to make a clear cover out of lexan...
