Is My Yamaha's Clutch Problem Worse Than We Thought?

[@mickleblade]

A nice explanation of what teams call 'braking strategies', ta very much

[@marcos7106]

Fantastic explanation on corner entry. Thanks. More bikes please.

[@fraserwright9482]

This is why riding on Sand adds another liquid level

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

If ever anyone wanted a rapid brain dump of various dynamics at play as top tier racers ‘do their thang’ in and out of corners. Chuffing Nora.

[@StoatLoxley]

Massive. Top info. Dont give a fuck if the motorists dont get the content, have another body wax.

[@grooveware9013]

Says the man that wears a one piece leather suit about the house.

[@StoatLoxley]

@@grooveware9013 Dont confuse the two piece leathers i cant get into anymore with the gimp suit.

Ricky just looks so much happier when he's talking bikes,geeeeek 😄👍

[@greyhorse1211]

My first bike (on the road) was a Raleigh Mobylette. I skimmed the head and added an oversize carb. Then it could do 31mph. Those were the days..

[@Tedthehammer]

So interesting mitch kate nice to see you could of give us a spin in the grey mack lol hi davlar and tge workshopstaff

[@icklepob88]

I watched someone slagging Crafar off for his tech talk on KZbin, saying he didn't know what he was talking about 😂😂. I was howling laughing. Good vid this Ricky, well explained and followable as you worked through each part.

[@shaunwhitfield112]

Eh really 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂😂😂 Slagging off people are mental mate

[@canty1973]

Great explanation Ricky can’t wait till next year to get back on track

[@mattparry1251]

Great information Ricky; I’ll check out Simon Crafar too….

[@jamesjs7818]

Learned so much from this 👏🏻👏🏻 More please!

[@Impulse5596]

Always amazing content, either with cars or bikes or just general chit chat. I still dont understand the subscribers not been at 100k yet

[@robertmailer4978]

Great video ,more please on bikes

[@brian623]

Very clever wealth of knowledge

[@antonyhosken5717]

I am constantly amazed by the modern world of sensors and data, I have several bikes some on carbs , some injected, none with ABS , traction control or electronic controlled suspension, they all manage to put a grin on my face though . Thank you for trying to explain , most of it I did understand.

[@colinbourne8345]

My old Aprilia RSV1000 had a slipper clutch as standard.. It worked off vaccum.. It had a rubber diaphragm between the clutch cover and the clutch pressure plate so when you shut the throttle it created a vaccum and pulled the clutch slightly.... Worked quit well

[@richardtaylor2449]

Thanks Ricky for explainin' slipper clutches 👍👍👍and thanks Dav for the vid' 👍👍👍

[@richardtasker9341]

Thanks Ricky really interesting, love the cars but love the bike stuff more. Well done Dav as well great videoing. Keep it up boys

[@steveyates2423]

I've got as much mechanical knowledge as a clay tablet from 3000BC but Jesus I love the way you explain things - even duck eggs like me can understand it

[@deanbaldwin3540]

Love the bike video hope you run open next year

[@jollyjoiner68]

Great vid, something I understood from my days with an ex R6 cup bike (2co) if memory serves me right we used to take one of the 3 star washers out the clutch to allow some more slip when down shifting .

[@Tagomago12]

I remember going to the IOM TT in 1989 , the lap record had just topped 120mph average. V&M were the biggest name in bike tuning and I'm still into fast cars and bikes. Give us a Carly Riky (plz)

[@Scania370]

Fascinating, awesome tech vid. Love bike content

[@andywalsh1185]

What would be an advantage/disadvantage of a dry clutch ? Great watch Ricky 👏👏👏

[@fraserwright9482]

So this isn't Budget Bike battle

[@jamest5149]

There is a reason/function of the slipper clutch you didn’t fully cover, when you hit the back brake and it locks up fully (wheel stops spinning) you have very little control and a crash is very possible…. A slipper brake slows the rear wheel speed using engine braking but the wheel is still turning so you can slide/control the bike, this is how supermoto riders back into corners… its not back brake use as most think.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Slipper clutch doesn’t slow the rear wheel speed down, the engine does that. The slipper clutch allows the rear wheel speed to be different from the speed it should be for that engine rpm/gear. Super Motos back in because they run very little or no slipper clutch…so the rear wheel speed is massively reduced due to engine speed vs ground speed.

[@Screamifyoumeanit]

Turning science into an art form.

[@TheScortUK]

I melted most of my clutch on an 08 R1, funnily enough, back in 2008 😁 Fitted Pazzo levers, but completely ignored the brass sleeve, that I should have taken off the OEM levers - turns out, my clutch was never fully disengaging; so the several 1000 miles I did after (with loads of launches) just lunched all the plates, and I got given a box of bits from George Whites in Swindon along with a 700 quid bill oops

[@andybegbie8553]

So you're moving from R6 to R1 again, lol. Bit newer than my 05 R1 but we've put the 07/08 box in mine to use the slipper clutch! I understand how it works but wouldn't wanna build one, lol! Hiya Kate xx

[@AdrianDoggett]

Another cracking vid lads 👍

[@greengreenie55]

A good video, I think I understood things 😁.

[@kriscowley3241]

Fascinating. Ive absolutely no idea what youre on about but my brain wants to understand 🙃 😂. Will i ever come across a slipper clutch in my lifetime, doubt it. Cant hurt to learn a little and know a bit more than i did yesterday. Great Vid Richy lad.

[@colinscutt5104]

Adjustable Spanner Heresy !!!!!

[@davylad4804]

Great video who won the last Carly for the Instagram/Skoda comment?

[@prebenlohse1684]

You scub up somewhat nicely 😂😂😂

[@paul55]

What’s going on with the editing the last couple of videos? It seems very jumpy. It is putting me off watching. There is no flow
