blaster2006 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 hey guys, another stupid quick question. well, when im racing, ( not so often) around a track, i obviously bog abit on the corners, so what i do, is whilst kpeeing the gas on full, i just pull in the clutch quickly and let go of it ( i beleive this is called "feathering" the clutch), and then it immediatly pulls really hard, i know alot of people do it too, i was just wondering if this is bad for the clutch.. if i do it about 10-20 times per day.. mods are below, ive got a tusk racing clutch kit with HD springs.

brugal Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 "Feathering the clutch" Gotta love a two stroke. You ever consider lightening the flywheel ? Quote
peterlocal22 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 these bikes were built to be beat anyways, lol Quote
RIPPEN Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 "Feathering the clutch" Gotta love a two stroke. You ever consider lightening the flywheel ? Not sure I would do that.. I have heard that lightening the flywheel can actually make a bike bog MORE in allot of situations.. Only time I would ever lighten the flywheel is on a drag bike.. RIPPEN Quote
wesw Posted March 21, 2009 Report Posted March 21, 2009 never bogged my bike reved lot quicker. Quote

MarineNYC Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 I've heard that if you are a heavier rider that the Flywheel mod might not be for you. Quote

dragbanshee Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 you have the best sig ever, lol My son loves it, if he's around and see's it, he says ah' go back to that! Quote
AKheathen Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) it's simply called clutching, and is what you should do in that situation. feathering is what you do to get going, and is what wears the clutch out. there is nothing wrong with clutching, as long as you don't "feather" back into it. p.s. you can also clutch to launch harder over a hill Edited March 22, 2009 by AKheathen Quote
poorboystoys Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 i think is what hes trying to say POP the clutch not feather or drop the clutch Quote
TJScott Posted March 22, 2009 Report Posted March 22, 2009 everything you do wears your clutch out a little. your going to have to replace it eventually anyways, use it like it was meant to be used! Quote
