[@darthvader7116]

Sorry to drop in but i can give uba piece of advice that always keep in mind the sound of the engine. U think its redlining shift up and if u downshift and u feel engine brake is applied quickly engage the clutch and shift up or apply brake. I don't like using engine braking but professionals use it so its as per ur wish.

I recommend staying in gear at a stop light and keep your eyes on the rearview mirrors. Keep your bike aimed at an escape route. It may save you from being rear ended.

[@VijayKumar-ln5vz]

That's a good idea regarding safety

[@tejaspadhye]

You western people drive at 60mph like its nothing, that's not the case in India. Plus we have way more motorcyclists compared to cars here. Your car drivers are "blind" towards motorcyclists and its okay, but not applicable in India. You can afford to burn your clutch plates but we can't.

[@happyyy5840]

hello... bro you always speak exact words... 1. some people pull the clutch lever and start moving in 3-4 gear... 2. during 30-50kmph speed people change gear my tip is when you are start moving bike put 1 gear and give few required movement then go to 2nd gear then go to 25kmph speed and then directly go to 5th gear

[@twowheelsquirrel]

Nope. If that were the case, slow speed control would destroy every clutch on every motorcycle ever made. You know (most) motorcycles have a wet clutch right? Let it warm up properly before you ride and like my 90k mile FZS 1000 it'll never need replacing.

Thankyou so much! I was thinking this only since a few days that I am doing something wrong! & you just dropped the video today on this! I corrected myself by releasing 20-30% clutch before with just a little bit throttle, the bike goes ahead smoothly! Before I use to give more than a little throttle & the bike just revved so much that my dad got off the backseat in middle of the traffic! My dad just serviced the whole engine a few days ago! Hope I don't break it! I am a beginner!

rev matching shouldn't need to be told it should just be natural when you are at 10k rpm and you pulled in the clutch and drop a gear bring the rpm bring the rpm back up to 10rpm or near before letting the clutch go

as long as you don't release the clutch at speeds that the gear cannot handle without causing heavy engine breaking you should be ok . else you can rev match 4 gears down without using clutch, but it takes a while to understand the engine

[@ashish00007]

How do you stop in traffic for 1-2 seconds? 😲

[@rahulbhutani1981]

@@ashish00007 Well, the standard protocol is, unlike chapris, one should slow down and stop at yellow light itself, bring the engine to neutral, turn it off and start when It turns green or is about to (like 5 seconds left at the timer). For bumper to bumper traffic I continue to ride in 3rd gear which goes from 12kmph and all the way upto 75kmph . For any speeds lower than that I stay in 2nd gear which again goes from 0 upto 40kmph without too much stress. I do not engage the clutch even when I am not accelerating, the engine breaking plays a crucial role here, I just drop a gear or two and continue.

1. Don't give too much off throttle before engaging the clutch. Note: When you pull the clutch lever the clutch is "Disengaged", and when you leave the lever the clutch is "Engaged". 2:56 2. Don't put the bike on a gear while pulling the clutch lever when stopping or waiting long. 4:23 3. Don't put the bike on a gear while pulling the clutch lever when starting your bike. 5:23 4. Don't put the bike on a gear while pulling the clutch lever when you take your bike on reverse. 6:19 5. Have Minimum Required Play on the clutch lever. 6:41

[@Jesus4me4u]

Hey nice video, will also recommend not pulling the clutch all the way back, that's a dead zone anyhow, you can have it disengaged without all the way back. Then you can change gears more smoothly verse all the way back then you have to release like halfway before it bites. Also at a light, if you do go nuetral make sure your bike is pointed at an exit so you can pop it into gear for those who don't stop behind you, then you don't get hit.

When moving fast, is it ok to pull the clutch in fully (disengaging) after completing each acceleration? I've seen that the bike moves smoothly and noiselessly when I do that, but someone told me it could reduce the life of the clutch plates. Great job on this video!

The clutch play point is very interesting. So, how to gauge the sweet spot? If you keep too much play, even when the clutch is disengaged it will still have little engagement, and if you keep no play, then people who keep hand on clutch will burn the plate and/or it will be very tough to pull the clutch.
