I rode my bike to work today for the first time.
On the way home there was some traffic on the A45 as usual, but I noticed that my clutch is either engaged or not engaged (that’s the only way I can describe it). Traffic riding was a mare as it was either fast pulloffs or stalls
Is this normal or should it be like a car’s clutch where you find the biting point and ease out the clutch to get a smooth get away?
How far do you have to let the lever out to find the biting point?
Kwacky: How far do you have to let the lever out to find the biting point? About half way, as soon as i've found the biting point i move the lever about 1mm and it's no longer engaged
daytona63:You should be able to slip the clutch in a similar way to a car clutch but the biting point is more obvious when you are using your hand rather than your foot. It maybe it just needs a bit of adjustment.
Kwacky:see the wheel near the clutch lever?
