doing it coming to a stop at the lights 200m down the road that just turned red might not be such a bad idea, but the clutch is yo best friend all the other times

Apparently it sits in with the engine oil or something, i dunno, havnt checked what kind of clutch my bike has.

Sports Bikes are replicas of..well, racing bikes, so why wouldnt they have the dry clutch?

Yeah Downshifting with out the clutch breaks the teeth off your gear cogs, i think.

i think i'll just keep using my clutch, folks

i went to mcdonalds this morn on my bike, and like, half of sydney's motorcycle community was there drinking tea and coffee

 

[Azamakumar]

everything has a wet clutch unless its a ducati

Go to picton on a saturday, see how much of NSW's motorcycling population are there at the pub.

Thanks for the heads up Az.

graney: whats the deal with slipper clutches? I know how they work and all that shizzle, my q is can you still engine brake with em?

 

[SnowFox]

Slipper clutches eliminate this extra loading on the rear suspension giving riders a more predictable ride and minimize the risk of over-reving the engine during downshifts.

Depends, can a dirt bike reach 250KM and not get death wobbles?

 

[Bootawa_Boy]

Can a road bike jump 100 feet

can a road bike go over 10km/h on dirt

 

[quik.]

I think slipper clutch would simply reduce the abrupt engine braking that is way harsh and unsettles the bike

Thus why racers use them, you can just hammer it down on corner entry

Could be speaking out my ass though

 

[David Spade]

but yeah dumb question lol obviously it depends on what you want to use the thing for
