Default Re: (FiscusFish)

Several thoughts (wonderings) about clutches. I was taught to not hold in the clutch when stopped but to put it in neutral for anthing over, say about, 6 seconds. This was supposed to save the throwout bearing in a car. Is there a difference between a car and bike in this regard? Also I thought another reason for a lighter clutch pull is that when riding you keep minimal pressure and input on the bars, except countersteering. A harder clutch requires a bit of upset pressure on the bars when yanking on a hard clutch. So you can be smoother and more precise with a lighter clutch. True or false?
