How to extend the clutch's life due to shifting

« on: September 23, 2010, 02:48:09 PM »

If you pay attention to the sound that comes from your bike during changing gear, you may have heard a little slippage sound during the process of changing from one gear to another; mainly, from low to higher gear. The sound is like the clutch is grinding while it's making the engagement.
For sure, this will affect the life of the bike's clutch.
To eliminate the sound and to extend the life of the clutch's life longer, all you have to do is revving the throttle a little bit in advanced, before release the clutch lever. That's simple!
Have fun and ride safe!
