PD Simplified : Slipper Clutches

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hey #PDArmy, we hope this helped you understand slipper clutches! Do give the video a Like and let us know below what more you'd like us to simplify.

[@sumone2768]

Please guide on choosing riding gears specifically on Riding jacket/Pants/boots like you did previously on helmet. There are few different types and quality in the market but choosing one out of them seems a bit of a hassle for first time buyers as like me.

Hey, engine braking and rev-matching while downshifting, would be a good thing to explain, I think!

[@kundanpatil3133]

Absolutely

yes it should have been atleast mentioned in this video once. and explained 20 sec.

[@saurabhkakde3502]

If I have a slipper clutch do I need to do the rev matching?

[@NinjaInTheFirstDegree]

@@saurabhkakde3502 Rev matching is more fun but technically it reduces the penalty for not doing it. My 19 zx6 is supposed to have one but twice now when I had a "Shift event" the rear tire definitely broke lose both times so I'm not sure exactly how much back torque its supposed to limit.

I would strongly suggest riding better so that emergency braking isn’t a common feature at all 🤣

[@AayushD]

On Indian roads, you can only do so much yourself. One needs to account for others' mistakes as well.

[@manthenvashishth3769]

@@shu_mar emergency braking also consist of areas where brake fade occurs. One can engine brake and slow down without have to even touch any of your brakes. In hilly areas where one have to rely too much on brakes engine braking can be used. Also one also must take care of the speed themselves at the first place to increase the window where one has more time to react and take steps based on it.

[@silverarrow2013]

​@@shu_marI think you missed his point. You should always drive/ride carefully, but also put in mind there are careless drivers/riders still on the road even careless pedestrians. That's why manufacturers added these features on Bikes so riders can be safe.

This has happened with me , I was in 4th gear cruising around 50-60 and suddenly uncle in front of me stopped his santro out of nowhere. There was less than 1/2 meter distance between me and the car, I panicked and started downshifting and also applied hard break. Of course I fell down my helmet savedme my bike got damaged and uncle drove off without even seeing what happened at back. If my bike had sleeper clutch this wouldn't have happened.

Thank you power drift....that was insightful.....I had a confusion.....even though an auto blipper is engineered differently......how is the end functioning result of slipper clutch different from that of auto blipper

[@vinayakmadhav1514]

Lets make this clear The quickshifter allows u to down n upshift withouth the use of clutch lever And the slipper clutch lets u downshift smoothly while taking away the jerk which u recieve after downshift So the end results are Quickshifter - shifting while accelerating without the use of clutch Slipper clutch - downshift becomes smoother......so while taking on traffic ....like really hard....u dont have to engage on brakes .....just downshift and continue to accelerate Quickshifter can be understood ....bt slipper clutch.....u need to experience it

If I understand correctly, with a slipper clutch in place, Engine braking will not be available the way its there now, usable in steep hill descent? Is my understanding correct, if yes, it can be a big problem putting extra pressure on braking system

[@vinayakmadhav1514]

Engine braking will be there bt just bit smoothened out....so u wont feel the jerk after a downshift....thus helping u to downshift without worrying about the jerk

Use as much brakes as you want. Modern brakes can handle it. Engine braking for descending slopes is an oooold idea from a long time ago.

I have been using the slipper clutch on rtr 200 Rode abt 28k kms on highway I will say it takes away just 15/20% of the engine braking bt just the jerk part of it .....while shifting from 5th gear speed of 80 to the 4th gear .....it takes away the jerk bt still manages to engine brake

So can we say that it works like an ABS, wherein an ABS helps while braking and the slipper clutch helps while downshifting and both would help in not locking the rear wheel completely.

In some ways yes. A rolling wheel can be controlled and a sliding wheel almost cannot. Both systems keep’em rolling.
