  • Does this work in a car?

  • It's not hard on your bike but yeah it will wear down the clutch pad any time the clutch and the flywheel are going two different speeds your slowly wearing it down. Therefore, leaving it half engaged isn't that good.

  • Is it hard on the clutch? you did´nt answer you're question

  • @TheRickeMovies look int the description bro

    

  • turbo ringtone!?

  • Drive like that in America and people will get so freaking pissy

  • who else saw the light being gay and all look at me @ 4:44??? pmsl

  • in a car that is riding the lving fuck out of the clutch  from off the line i would say its very bad i wouldnt do it

  • is this not bad for your gearbox?

  • @kansa1melb its only bad for the clutch, in a bike its not so bad because its multi plated wet clutch, but if you did this in a car alot it would eventually just ruin the clutch plate

  • do u s till ride this bike!?!?!? cause i really want to get a bike and i hear this bike is suposed to be the best bike for starters. i mean i have rode dirtbikes and similar bikes, but im just not certain and do u think it willl last me a good while?

  • I still believe the best way to learn anything is the proven system of trial and error. I use it everyday all day.

  • how to go fast from a stop.. ( dont buy a 250)

  • @FormulaVeeRacer1200 the ninja 250 is fine i fly out infront at traffic lights acceleration is fine douchebag

  • @natho369 ha my n/a ef 6cyl falcon was much quicker than my mates ninja and my oher mates cbr250RR. no need to call me te douchebag. at least i dont have a slow vehicle

  • @FormulaVeeRacer1200 a 250 has a 0-100 of around 6 seconds. Considering this is the baby of all bikes it's not too bad. Oh and good luck keeping up with a 650 in your little ford.

  • @cookie852 well its turbo now mate and yeah it will. My BF MKII xr6t is quicker than my mates R6. :S hrmm yeah my little fords are so shit haha. be mellow. have a look at my vids if u like. im not just reeling shit off

  • @FormulaVeeRacer1200 Alright then, if you're going to step up to the top tier of cars in Aus then you can step up to the top tier of bikes and go against a 1000cc. Oh wait, those things are faster than a v12 Gallardo. Oh, and you probably have a massive turbo lag.

  • @cookie852 lol its not the top tier bud. its not even FPV just a 18K turbo family sedan. no lag. have a look at my vids there one 80-190kph in 7seconds or something but hey im sorry if i came off douchey with my first comment i was just trying to be funny. but well iv got the BF booked in for a plenum, exhaust and retune which im told will see me at around 500-550kw which is more than enough for low 10's :D on slicks of course. my mates CBR1000 with pipe, pwr cmdr and intake ran a best of 10.6

  • what year is that ninja 2008?

  • @arich357 wtf??? ninja 2008 and your asking the year? it might be a joke im not sure, but just saying....maybe u were not awake that day??? haha

  • @arich357 ...2008

    ...crack is wack

  • Great tip! I'll try it tomorow, Thanks 13

  • wouldnt it be better to just downshift?

  • @therealTOTOfan not really since giving more revs and shifting down you'l increase engine-breaking and on faster bikes the power between gears vary dramatically.

    Also, many higher CC bikes can't handle that power, the bikes that british police use (BMW R1200RT-P I think) can actually tear their own gearboxes to shreds if you're not careful. However once you get to bigger bikes you wont see much of a need for this, bikes like the Triumph Thunderbird can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.3 seconds.

  • Who was following you?

  • thats how i do burn outs with my car =D. but drop the clutch right away

  • Feathering the clutch apparently tickles the cops in Taiwan.

  • For everyone wondering if this is hard on the clutch, just read the description!

  • 4:46 what's with the lights?

  • ...yeah whats with downshifting is that ok for bikes as it is with cars to get to higher RPMs to give you a boost?

  • "Is it hard on the clutch? oh wait someones phoning me"

    MAN FUCK WHOEVER CALLED YOU. I WANTED TO HEAR THE ANSWER.

  • @RuppahsModernLife

    Answers on the description.

  • @RuppahsModernLife  " Well you might have to change your clutch in 5 years instead of 7, so it makes a difference.....but not much."

  • I thought you had a black Ninja 250?

  • its over 9,000!

  • ahh that actully helped me a little thanks ive just recently done my CBT and i own a Honda CBR125 have u any recoomendations once i do my 1st module on a bike?

  • What's up with that light at 4:44????

  • or you could downshift....

  • mmm sewage

    

  • Sweet :D i been doing this since the start (: only on my 50,

    saw the title so was of course interested, >.< woot

    again great video M :)

  • Eh, can't necessarily agree with jumping the clutch while moving on a higher powered bike. Sure, you definitely use feathering to start hard without flipping, but you try jumping the clutch to 10k and dropping it on my R1 and you'll find yourself on your ass. So I'd say it's more of a smaller bike thing to jump the clutch, but dragging is used all the time to dissipated power you don't want (so you don't flip).

  • a car's clutch and a motorbike's clutch are built differently. In a car, feathering or riding the clutch will wear it out quickly and the clutch will start to slip. But on a motorbike, the clutch is built to withstand the stress that is put on it when you ride or feather the clutch, it is quite normal to use more clutch than brake to slow you down as you come up to a red light or a corner on a motorbike...

  • That is called riding your clutch and is terrible for it. I don't know what the difference is with motorcycle and a car's but I've seen people go through a new clutch (under 1k miles) with slipping it once.

  • Is it hard on the clutch? ...ring ring... we will never know.

  • WTF IS UP WITH THAT LIGHT @ 4:44?????

  • @Injektedchaos3 It's actually a betel nut vendor. They use those lights outside their stalls

  • @Injektedchaos3 its what all the lights look like through the camera

  • Looks like you invest quit a bit of money into clutches :)

  • So its the motorcycle equivalent of brake boosting?

  • Comment removed

  • LOOK TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN AT 4:45 DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THAT LIGHT LOL

  • @M3TALFLY Traffic light on acid.

  • will it wreck ur bike if you do it all the time

  • 7-11 at 4:24

  • This is why I like M13's channel. He always has something interesting to view when I am bored.

  • is that hard on the bike or the clutch itself?

  • @waderp

    Yeah it burns the crap out of your clutch.

  • @waderp

    I know cos i snapped my old 125's cable doing this. ^_^

  • For quicker bikes at low speeds couldn't it cause wheel slippage?

  • i drive a 250 ninja aswell, i race and its just awesome.

  • This works really well on Kawasaki 60 cc 2 stroke racing dirt bikes aswell. you can do wheelies and burn outs easy, aswell as accelerate very fast if you do it right.

  • Im in like 3rd gear or something, Im at 5000 RPM and I want to pass this guy...

    So i just pull the clutch in, GET THE REVS UP, KICK IT BACK TO SECOND AND DROP THE CLUTCH!!!

    MERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • @thissk8er wheely aswell?

  • @javelinxd44 na... too gutless... 1st gear clutch pop and you can get it up, or pop from 1st to 2nd. Most people stand on the back pegs, but i removed the cowl and made a foot brace inside so you can out your left foot in there and keep your right foot on the brake. PM me your e-mail I'll send you a pic of it.

  • @thissk8er

    not on a 250R lol unless your going 40km/hr lol

  • @jesserai I take off at the lights and just after im rolling, i rev and dump the clutch and wheelie through the intersection then put it back down. BUT, if i do that.,.. then i'm normally going too fast then to pop it into a wheelie from 1st to 2nd

  • Comment removed

  • @flekz41 LOL

  • "Is it hard on the clutch"..............Yes

  • im goin to get a ninja 250 for my first street bike... yaaaaay yaaaaay

  • awwwww sexyyy bike....sooo sexy.......so....sexy...... haha M13 u kick ass man

  • you didnt finish if it was bad for the clutch :( lol

  • Just sub this AM and have been looking at your vids. You have to be kidding about a liter bike,because you have no idea.

  • all this feathering the clutch, and stuff like bliping the throttle while downshifting, isnt it bad for the clutch?

  • it seems like asian cars are popular in asia.

  • oooohhh, this is awesome! great video, I always see you do this in all your other videos, like sometimes when you pass cars you do this. Thank you for explaining this Sensei.

  • kawasakiiiiii hahaha i love u man!

  • First of all - that's a damn loud ring tone - to hear it over the bike noise, and in your helmet.

    Second of all - thanks for all the riding tips.

  • freaky light on the right side again :) 4:45

  • Notice he pulls over to answer his phone

    Take notes cage drivers hahha :D

    Disclaimer: Don't start bitching at me, it was PARTIALLY a joke.

  • lol

  • doesn't that burn the cluch disks out? because the cluch is just rubbing and not fully on.

  • @yummie992 I believe he was about to comment on that in the video when his phone rang. Maybe some bike mechanic called and said:

    "Hush up about the clutch stuff cuz business is bad. I'll throw in a 5 dollar discount for ya"

  • its so true what your saying, letting the clutch slip is important for light bikes.

    For my bike its or letting the clutch go an go like a snail, or letting it slip and go like hell, with two strokes its even more important then a four stroke.

    My bike goes like stink until 7k rpms.

  • Or change down gear?

  • i do that with my car but rarely

  • @Quiks66

    I agree the guy rides like an asshole in some places, but he says some true things reg. the clutch feathering.

  • @Quiks66 I disagree.

  • if i wanted to feather the clutch to get a bit more power from the bike in say 4th gear, when i release the clutch, should i jus drop it or release it slowly??

  • release it slowly

  • Been subscribed for years and I've watched as you've slowly got your bearings on some more advanced riding techniques. I have to say after this video I've lost a bit of respect.

    -600 Supersport #142

  • great man, i liked!

  • usefull technique....personally i dont do it often i like my clutch to last as long as possible but if im racing on the track or street then i do a "race start" and bring the rpms up to about 8k then slowly let it out for a fast start.

  • What's that smell ah it must be bullshit what a tosser !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • mate yourra cunt, he had to sell his bike cus he was described on bbc2 as an illigal street racer so dont watch his vidio's if you find them so offence to you inner very deep down very hidden mascalinity.

  • thats Sunny China

  • m13 im guessing u dont feather the clutch much on your ninja 650r as it has a lot of low down torque?

    or do you ?

  • i luagh if he just dropped n someone took the camera n posted it on youtube ll

  • on his account? I don't think so...

  • AW. I wanted to see a really ninja.

  • That country looks beautiful

  • wtf lol this has to be like talking on the phone or something people must be seeing him like wtf is he doing

  • wont that fuck your clutch up?

  • @TillaMC most motorcycles have a wet clutch so they take a lot of abuse before they wear out

  • @TillaMC No it wont bikes and cars have different clutches bikes have a slipper clutch

  • @KillerTofu808 Only high end sports bikes have slipper clutches.

  • @TillaMC It's a little harder on the bike but if you don't go too crazy with it it's fine.

  • @StreamingKnowledge Besides, the clutch discs are expendable items just like breaks. If they get spent, just replace...

  • @TillaMC It will wear it down, but that's what the clutch is supposed to do.

  • Why? does the bike not pull away fast enough without doing this,if not get a more powerfull bike .

  • idk, my '06 cbr 600rr is plenty fast from idle to 8k, granted, it's totally a rocket at 8k to 15k but it's still plenty fast for local city riding.. i can see bikes with under 50whp to need feathering, but i think it can be more dangerous to have people try it on a bigger sport bike.. i can see them easily clutching wheeling by mistake trying to do what your saying...

  • Thought M13's a master in the art of multitasking; why can't he ride n answer duty calls simultaneously? :P jk. Terrorism alert, level 1: "oh shit cop!", level 2: "yes, dear?" :P Paranoia cured by a high-pitch alien call. :o) I'd be vigilant too; "free meals" are better fed to starving mouths.

  • :D :P tired n sleepy but can't stop laughing. :o) must be the lingering after effect of repeatedly watching this 1 "lucky love" outran a problematic bus. :D :o) The clutch is that dusty? :P m-1-3, :D very distinguished name; it's certifiable. :D :o)

  • i wouldnt have thought riding the clutch like that is a good idea for the bike.

  • It's pronounced A - CRAP - O ' VITCH. Just so you know

  • good video m13

  • a litre bike makes power everwhere trust me, you only need to feather the clutch when pulling away and at low speeds because of the gearing otherwise you will stall, but litre bike dont have the same trouble a 600's they are rediculous everwhere

  • i do this with my 125 when i skip to the front of traffic lights and need to get away before white van man hits me.

  • i get my ass feathered quite a bit

  • this is bad on the clutch...

    it burns it really bad.

    think about it....if you do that on a car, what happens? It sort of like "lauching" a car but slipping the clutch instead of dumping it. Doing it too much, will wear your clutch out fast.

    Now, i hear that on the 250, say on an Uphill, you would probably have to rev the engine to about 3000rpm before lettting the clutch out to get the bike moving.

    also depends on how steep the hill is.

  • My friend always rode and feathered his clutch way too much, wore out in about 2 months. He would always ride it outta shifting. 1k for a new clutch (according for Ford) - btw it was an 09 mustang GT (*sigh*)

  • Clutches in cars are dry plate, they're not designed to be slipped much. The clutch in a motorcycle is "wet" or constantly lubricated by the engine oil, allowing it to be constantly abused. It's more like the torque converter in an autobox, so you can do things to a bike that you can't with a car.

  • probably, but i would think if you're in a low gear....which you would be from a standstill..

    you would rev up really fast and hit power rpm soon.

    If i overtake anyone, i much rather downshift. But if you can downshift, you're probably going 40+mph anyway

  • I told him not to ride it so much lol

    Thanks for the information! :D

  • WHAAAAT? OVER 9 THOUSAND?!?!?!?!

  • Is it hard on the clutch?

  • see the description

  • The new intro is nice, but a bit too long

  • Yes the clutch does take quite a bit more wear this way, due to the heating and slipping of the plates...

  • You got the point across, and I had to laugh hard when you lost your train of thought and were trying desperately to get it back

  • By the way, on a 2strokes engine, the exhaust can modify by 60% the power, on a 4strokes it's merely 10% at best. So having a bad exhaust won't really change your 4strokes bike's power.

  • You could rename this video in « how to ruin your clutch » ;)

  • did he just say "...like my CBR 600..." ??? since when does he own a honda and is this 250 also his own?

  • no he borrowed the bike from a friend and i thought he owned a Kawasaki ZX6R

  • he had the cbr600rr before the ninja 650

  • yeah he had an 600 ninja ! but i don't know what happened ...

  • HAHA at 4:45 the traffic light is going crazy on the right side.

  • Nice vid

  • What a nasty ringtone :D

  • ooh sewage! a.d.d. much?

    good vid anyways

  • great video

    gonna try that, i usually shift down, but then I'm likely to lose grip (in turns), because my bike is a big pile of shit lol

  • Ill give your 636 a race bigfellaandy :) I love to race bikes.

  • lol @ cars trying to race bikes, i love it when they try to race me on the 636. :D.. and LOSEE

  • Great vid! Very helpful!

  • i wanna see your CBR

  • Are you a god?

  • Yes Yes m-13 is a god!!! we should all worship him!!

  • he isnt a god, hes THE God

  • thats kinda like launching if your driving a car

  • I want to see a M13 police chase, do it...

  • this video reminds me of your old school series "how to ride a motorcycle"

  • If im already moving, ill usually downshift instead of feathering the clutch to pass/accelerate. which would you suggest mordeth?

  • Depends where your RPMs were to begin with.

  • I like to fluff the clutch and feather my balls.

  • what happened at the end

    was the police following you?

  • lmfao, oooh sewage, yummy XDDD

  • Yes, but if you did it......it would be boring. ;-)

  • hahaha!!

  • epic ringtone

  • Bad on a big Ducati, but not too bad on my M696 (wet clutch)... which I just dropped today. FML.

  • doing what you did at 2:40 will make most bigger bikes start to wheelie.

  • "An m13 start"? Is that the unexpected-stall start?

  • ha....................ha  :-)

  • Have you been sponsored?

  • I don't think it is hard on motorcycle clutches to do what Mordeth is doing because they are wet as opposed to dry clutches in cars and trucks?????? If you did that in a car and/or truck you would burn the clutch up really fast. Especially if you did it all the time. That's probably why ricers fry their clutches all the time.

  • I thought especially Ninja250 clutches? Since it's an entry-level bike.

  • I think it's true for any wet clutch application. I've always been told that wet clutches can handle more stress because they are immersed in oil. I'm not a mechanic though just a rider.

  • i do this in my car when i wann do a traffci light Grand Prix :)

  • tawain looks so much more intresting than shitty England

  • un gratefull fuck

    our troops fight and die for our freedom and then wanker slike you go and say things like that

  • haha you know what i mean not to be harsh to our country but its just so safe, like in one of these videos so many things are going on but if you look at his videos over here it aint so intresting.

    and anyway fuckin chill out i didnt kill a child i just sed englands shit

  • Give England about 20 years, it will be more diverse. You'll have mosques on every corner and Sharia law. Then England will be bangin!! It'll turn into another South Africa.

  • mmm i do this with the clutch in my car.

    i just cant be bothered to shift downa gear!
