[@capitaint9560]

Most bikes have a wet clutch. Its helpful to ride the clutch when turning sharp and slow as you have more control. Moving away with a little ride of the clutch is not going to cause any issues for a new rider and not make the bike jerk forwards.

Agreed I have a feeling a mechanic told him this. I've blown through hinsen clutches in one race... clutches come and go even if you ride the bikes soft.

Aren’t the wet clutches meant to take the burn?

[@Tazytots]

No. Wet clutches and dry clutches have the exact same upsides and downsides, regardless of how it's made. The bonus to wet clutches is that the oil protects it from normal operation overheating. If you're doing this to your clutch though, you're not operating normally. The oil actually causes overheating. Improper riding will damage both clutch types.

[@techsir8866]

It's actually a lack of friction when the clutch is slipping. You want those clutches to grab with as much friction as possible. Don't think the wet clutches will be much affected by a little slip either. If you own a Ducati though, may want to see if it's a dry clutch.

[@dominikfranczak5282]

1. Motorcycles (most od them) have wet clutch so there is no "dry friction". Half clutch maneuvers are not that harmful like in a typical manual car. 2. Old type carburetor engines don't have a computer-controlled engine revs increase during the starting.

This is only important on dry clutch systems like the Ducati V4’s or older models. Most modern bikes are a wet clutch system that uses fluid to keep the clutch from getting too hot.

[@Critastic]

That’s just an excuse to not learn properly. You’re riding a motorcycle, do it properly.

[@VicinalElk44104]

​@@Critastic idk what bike you ride, but some bikes you CAN'T ease into the throttle. My r1 is basically either off or on when it comes to the throttle. I've literally sat off the bike with it in neutral and TRIED to give it just enough throttle to raise the rpm's a few hundred rpm's. It doesn't happen. The best I get is going from idle with me not turning it to it revving to about 4k rpms with the absolute smallest amount of throttle I can give it as possible. On top of that, a lot of bikes(including my r1) jerk when adding throttle from closed. This can cause issues when taking off or when doing low speed maneuvers. So, in this case, your only real choice is to use the clutch to regulate the power going to your rear tire while holding the rpms at a little above idle to do what you gotta do.

On a lower cc bikes is quite easy to stall the engine adding low throttle

[@johndoe-jx6jj]

What about stopping on an incline or hill?

[@LuisSanchez-vu6uv]

Taking off from an incline or hill is a little bit tricky, you need to hold the rear brake & find the friction zone with your clutch and give it a little bit of throttle (all at the same time) as soon as you feel the bike pull a little bit then you must release the rear brakes and give it throttle! It takes a lot of practice tbh

[@sk8kokolok]

@@LuisSanchez-vu6uvnah, 3/4 times, losing fear, and its ok... and remember use gas and drop clutch at same time (slowly) and it will come out more fluid (just dont take 6h to move, its not good for your bike)

[@bjornlangoren3002]

The best way to do it is to rev to max, and quickly let the clutch go, and make sure to sit upright to help with the wheelie, or better yet, get body yanked back while holding the throttle in a death grip, and then it is just like riding a horse that just got stung by a wasp.

[@LC-yo3bj]

There's a ton of value in city riding safety for learning how to take off fast. IE- people in cars not looking for bikes in front of them and taking off when they see the cars next to them go, they dont even look up from their phones they just take off. Seen it happen enough times to not take chances. There's no way to do that without revving higher than necessary. Also a car not stopping in time behind you at a red light, if youre going forward even a light bit could make a little to a lot of difference.

[@tristanhill2536]

The easiest way is to learn your friction zone, it’ll pull u without any throttle being applied then once u get movin a lil you can apply the throttle n go🤷🏽‍♂️
