Clutch Control - I'm so cool

[Archerzz]

I think there are two different ways to actually start one is to rev high and slowly feather the clutch out and the other which I do is to not put on much throttle till the clutch is out further so you start moving using the friction zone rather than the throttle. LOL @ the end I hate when that happens you just space and stall.

[lestatsev]

Love it ^ ^

[jipi0001]

haha when i stall during parking i never say it wasnt on purpose =D when im backing up in my car and stall in deep snow or something i just leave it there and pretend im done parking. :)

[Dexi]

"Well do it again andimlike fuck you!" hahaha

[MrSlowestD16]

The guy is right in that you drag the clutch for awhile, BUT, there's a few things to note: A) MCYs use wet clutches, you can drag 'em all day long compared to a car clutch. B) Anybody that drags MCYs will tell you, you need good throttle/clutch feathering if you want to keep the front end down.

But for daily riding when you're not on it hard? You can def. let the clutch out a pretty good bit quicker. The harder you need to start, the more you need to 'ease' the engagement (longer drag).

[MonsterCringer]

Where is the camera located? If on his helmet the which spot exactly.

[TheKneekap]

@MonsterCringer it's located within his Iris. he has been mechanically augmented for the ability of superior vlogging

[MonsterCringer]

@TheKneekap Fuck You.

and SOPA

[TheKneekap]

@MonsterCringer take a joke dude. FUCK YOU!

and SOPA.

[Dexi]

@MonsterCringer in front of his nose inside his helmet, same setup many motovloggers use.

[bobdigi88]

Would have been funny if you put int the clip of you stalling your bike at 1.51. I was waiting for it.

[ukmale164]

pull in the clutch when you stop brian

[Krazer2100]

budumpfttt lol

[tienztr]

wow the fences just before u arrived at the track is all fucked up. Doesn't the local council get that kinda stuff fixed?

[TheGLOCK17shooter]

@TheGardenSnake Wish I had your luck. ;-)

[reyesorozco]

@TheGardenSnake Like boners.

[TheGardenSnake]

@reyesorozco uh sure

[Wootguy238]

You make me laugh, m13.

[jmoyet]

good clutch control... *stall*.. lol

[madjak30]

Very nice...very nice...hehehe

[atherrien95]

Random question: what language/dialect are you speaking at the end of the vid?

[13mordeth]

@atherrien95 Mandarin Chinese.

[KTMMotox1]

@13mordeth good job yángguǐzi....now you will become the yángguǐzi wheelie king.

[atherrien95]

@13mordeth *Headdesk* I feel stupid now. I'm in Mandarin Chinese class, I just didn't recognize it immediately when you started to speak it.

[mustang6172]

@atherrien95 It's a secret code known only to 1.5 billion people.

[wpn25t]

@mustang6172 lol that killed me

[the86driver]

Hey i know this isn't the topic for this vid, but M13 do you know any good scooter site that will ship like vintage scooters like a Vespo scooter internationally? or any scooter site?

[the86driver]

LOl when ur engine died lol! haha

[Garrysmod911]

Mordeth have u uploaded a video of you on the race track? Would be awesome to see.

[13mordeth]

@Garrysmod911 I've uploaded many. Just do a search man. M13 Race Track

[csalad]

You got it up...and it surprised you D=

[13mordeth]

@csalad I'm married....so yeah....it always surprises me when I get it up.

[theBlue123498]

LOL at the end. u should make it like ur m13 ending.

[kozes]

lol, at the end

[latana151]

i do agree, havnt noticed it but not i think about it, i think you do feather the clutch too much when doing fast starts, try pulling away at a few k less rpm 

[Headroom1001]

It's quite logical that you use a slippery clutch to reach the max. torque in an instant, just to have the sensation of pulling up that fast. Most of the jap 2/4-in-line riders tend to do this. I ride a Buell. If I would do that the bike would immediately backflip. 

[turtlemann14]

peak torque on that bike is around 7k rpm anything over that is really to much.

if you have your rpm that high and your front wheel is not off the ground you are not letting the clutch out fast enough.

just aim to float the front tire and to engage the clutch as fast as possible.

[mbcyclery]

one only needs enough throttle to keep 1500 - 2k ish on start... not 5k!

[barrkel]

@mbcyclery the point of slipping at high revs is to get access to the power band at a lower speed than even first gear permits. You essentially use the friction of the clutch as a gear ratio. It's not efficient, but it is faster than letting out at 2K. On a 4 cylinder bike or other bike with most torque in high revs, you need to rev up even higher (and with yet more risk of wheelies).

[mbcyclery]

@barrkel

perhaps, but within say 10-15 feet im already fully engaged and spreading on WOT. it's faster for me than playing with the discs for 30 feet of travel.

[DjBurgess08]

I always let the clutch out a bit first to the bite before even pulling back the throttle. It's just what people are used to I suppose :) 

[stevey2020]

Haha that was the funniest video of your's that I've seen in a long time!

[MongolBRH]

2:31 LMAO xD

[jonkenny63]

hahaha nice. anybody that knows shit knows clutches vary with each bike/car. its takes time to get the know them. a bit like women.:)

[brainiac147]

I don't have a motorcycle but in my CAR, when I first got it, I made the mistake to rev it up to high RPM and let the clutch out slowly as usual (we were on a hill, I didn't want the car to roll back/stall etc)... Shortly after my car was filled with the smell of burnt metal and stayed there the whole way home.

When starting with high RPM you have to basically just drop the clutch, or else you risk damaging it.

[barrkel]

@brainiac147 cars have dry clutches. Motorbikes usually have wet clutches - they are cooled by oil. Slipping the clutch is far more common on a motorbike.

[brainiac147]

@barrkel aha sorry, I was not aware of the difference

[Josh94zz]

just a quick question when using a geared bike should you always bring your Rpms up a little bit when your about to pull away before letting the clutch out and then bring it out slowly and smoothly (decent rate) or should you do it at the same time? for both hill starts and Flat ground?

[Bristecom]

"I'm here to race...budumpfffttt..." LMAO, that was awesome! XD

[felixdahcat]

were you recording that wheelie? maybe upload it?

[MarcPro]

yo....I like your style.

[JOHNDEEBANK]

Riding the clutch will burn it out much sooner than not. No need for such high rpm's. Unless of course u want to make a lot of noise from the muffler between short stops. I think 50 yrs. of riding bikes allows me to comment on most bike topics.  JOHN.

[13mordeth]

@JOHNDEEBANK "No need for such high rpm's" Unless you're drag racing....or just feel like starting off from a standstill quickly.

[crackerstolemybike]

i love this guy olabisa budubudumph

[op3l]

as always, entertaining video, love you M

[epiphonesg007]

I don't stall bikes.......few minutes later.... his own bike stalled. xD

[strictlyformyninja]

Have you ever thoroughly explained what a typical day is like teaching kids English over seas? I am considering teaching ESL, so I am just trying to find out what it is like.

[Tyrant597]

@strictlyformyninja watched some of his earlier vids?

[strictlyformyninja]

@Tyrant597 I have. But he has A LOT of videos and I have been subbed to him for over 2 years. I know he explains some of what he does, but if I remember correctly, he doesn't go into great detail what the daily routine is like.

[nathanuc1988]

1:20 "higher than I ever had it up before." wink wink

[glenben92]

If you let the clutch out too fast while still at low speed, it will easily wheelie. Try letting the last half / last third of the clutch slip out faster, rather than speeding up throughout the whole amount of travel. It should speed up the acceleration and shouldn't bring the wheel up

[13mordeth]

@glenben92 Gotcha.

[glenben92]

@13mordeth If it all goes wrong, blame someone else lol. On a serious note, I can generally get 4 second 0-60 times out of my GPZ500 (EX500 to you, probably) using this method, hence my input.

[dbauernf]

No one said to rev to 6k rpms and drop the clutch..

[amesplumbing]

It's called coordination and if your not going to ride the clutch you have to let off on the throttle a bit. Again it's called coordination. either way it's your bike and your money, I don't kill any bike I ride either but I can miss a gear no matter what I'm riding. There are 2 kinds of riders. those who have been down and those who are going down, it's best to learn young. Like before your 50. Be cheerful

[BloomingtonNinja]

1 hour isn't enough time for m13 to get around a go kart track. In all seriousness, your clutch seems fine to me on a 650r. If it were a 600cc supersport, you could release faster, but there's a huge difference between inline 4 and parallel twin.

[TheGardenSnake]

I do wheelies in like every video I make but the unexpected ones scare the shit out of you. It don't matter if your real good at them cuz when it comes up when you didn't want it to.... Fuck

[13mordeth]

@TheGardenSnake I checked your videos. They are good.

[TheGardenSnake]

@13mordeth Thanks! My subs just jumped by about 100 lol. I was like wtf did I do! I figured I was just a bad ass. Then I saw your comment.... Thanks!

[FMMProductions]

@TheGardenSnake Just subbed to you. Whilst i've only seen one of your videos (i plan on watching them all) from what i saw you remind me of Mordeths long lost brother.

[TheGardenSnake]

@FMMProductions Well with the Canadian Mafia after our parents they knew we wouldn't be safe. It was a hard decision but they sent me to Texas and M13 to Taiwan. That was many years ago....

[inosak]

@TheGardenSnake I have only one unexpected wheelie in my life and what scares me - it didn't scare me. I just like "hmm, ok, wheelie, ok, lol".

[bullLEGEND234]

Love your videos man keep them up!!

[Otacon1105]

lol, the story about the wheelie, happened to me too :D One moment your looking at the road the next your looking up at the clouds.

[MrJus7as]

dont be scared ! just fuckin do wheelie again ;)

[natelee4]

I'm a new rider and your videos really help!!! MORDETH ROCKKKSSSS!!!! ^_^

[purklefluff]

i think what the guy originally meant was to start off the line with lower RPMs (i.e. not insta-wheelie RPM), let the clutch out fully, then accelerate with the engine fully connected to the wheel. it's a technique you have to use with (for example) 4-wheel-drive sports cars and the like, and it stops the clutch from burning out and also provides better 0-60 times.... letting the clutch slip makes your acceleration slower and slipping at high RPMs burns it out quickly.

[doggdoggy]

lol at the end

[daddyoca69]

I think he meant shave off the last sec or two off the end.. I noticed it too but persoanly don't care about your clutch lol..

[XeroFailGames]

ive showed some people how to ride and the way u nornally do it is the way i teach cause that way the person doesnt wheelie and they also dont stall....but i tell them to work on clutch and throttle and they are good within 3 months

[daedalx]

2:15 VW Eurovan = I have one.

[fuakyewz]

cool story bro now get some throttle control too

[ArchimedeanEye]

I have an ER6-F also. I tend to use lower RPM, drop the clutch much earlier, then wind-out first gear with the engine fully 'connected' to the back wheel (no clutch slip). Your method of slipping much of first gear, but using higher RPM may actually be a quicker way of getting off the line. I'm just don't wanna burn my clutch out too early cos im tight, lol

[TFDLegendNL]

@ArchimedeanEye I want a er-6n... need the get bike-license first :S

[Xternal47]

do you know furiouspete? :) is he famous in taiwan too?

[galten123]

M13 how is black people looked upon in Taiwan or asia in general? Is it better then it is in Europe or is it worse?

[TFDLegendNL]

@galten123 May I ask where that is in Europe.... Because I live in the Netherlands (Holland)

[2dL]

You let the clutch a bit quicker but you accelerated the same amount didn't you? That's why you went 11 o' clock, try letting the clutch quicker but accelerate less! I think it will work =)

[darkbow98]

what came first the chicken or the egg? o.0

[OCNRob]

budumpfffttt!

[macca1088]

Yeah... Your bikes rather torque rich

:-P

[k0nn0r]

If you play from 1:15 to 1:35 out of context, it makes for some good lulz.

[AuflesProductions]

@k0nn0r Bwahah, I listened to that before the actual video! XD

[blingmow101]

Do you play MW3 ON PC?

[pyro1324]

@blingmow101 You shouldn't play MW3 at all, every second you spend infront of it you lose 10 iq points.

[naomybaybeeh]

CAN ANYBODY GO ON THE TOUR? ..IM 22 AND I'VE NEVER BEEN OUT OF LOS ANGELES.I HOPE ONE DAY I CAN GO ON YOUR TOUR:)

[13mordeth]

@naomybaybeeh Anybody who isn't stupid enough to write in ALL CAPS can go.

[QsKIIHALOIIWoWII]

You honestly only just found that sweet spot now?

[jalit]

You wheelied because you had the RPM's too high. Let the clutch out quickly on lower RPM's to save your clutch and fuel efficiency.

[jmwintenn]

what was all that crap by the fence on the way to the track?

[MahdiY]

Same shit happened to me dawg. I'm a newbie right and one day coming off a red light trying to sort of race my friend in his car, I let the clutch off fast but gave the usual amount of gas. 10 oclock wheelie and I didn't know what the fruit was going on. Heart attack. Thankfully no issues but I'll stick with turtle clutchin. Can't wait for Spring!

[usmcgrunt24]

If SOPA means no more Mordeth.. I'd be sad..

[Mattertron1979]

Coke or Meth?

[13mordeth]

@Mattertron1979 Meth. It's cheaper and lasts longer.

[shanetheninja101]

@Mattertron1979 ha hes not kidding:)

[mrnicktoyou]

A clutch wears out the most during the slipping phase. The secret is to let it out as soon as possible but with low revs. If you're wheeling then you need to back off.

[tirimut]

I still haven't got a license,nut I'm in the process of getting it.While learning to ride a got accustomed to doing what you just said - bringing the RPMs up and then releasing the clutch slowly.My instructor insist that this is wrong and that I should twist the throttle and release the clutch in the same time.Keep in mind that I'm doing all that on a 125cc Honda CBR,so even when I let the clutch fast at 5000 RPM the front wheel isn't going anywhere vertically.

[bezzaboy1234]

What Video Camera Have You Got In Your Helmet M13? Must Be Pretty Big If They Think It's A Cell Phone!

[Shy852]

Man i saw your wife from one of your old videos and my god she is fine :O!

[MrJohnnnW]

@Shy852 What? What video?

[Shy852]

@MrJohnnnW Its one of his old videos where his son is like 3-4 months old

I've never stalled my motorbike but I occasionally stall a car, spent too much time playing games, not enough time running around haha.

[horizon92lee]

Haha foot in mouth

[KeriNyx]

Aww, so you didn't film your accidental wheelie.... not even for your private series? :D

Maybe you go back and recreate the scene because you didn't film it the first time. lol

[tops1028]

I like how this dude talks to other people and the other people were like "is this guy real?" lmao

[AccidentalBroadcast]

Wait, so critiquing you will warrant a shout out ;P

[rydhwan]

@13mordeth this vid was a little inspirational lol i cant seem to embarass myself in little bits and let it go the way u joke about it..especially the comment about the stoppie accident in front of the shop lol... thanks

[kramcas2]

Your coolness is unmatched

[White13BFC]

haha.

Best. Ending. EVER.

[MrAvaf]

So cool when you speak this taiwan language :)

[jianson870621]

The way you say video recorder, it sounds like radio lol

wheelies ftw! :D

[coast2coast00]

I don't believe you stalled it by accident on a clutch video...

The comedic timing of it was too good ;)

[13mordeth]

@coast2coast00 Well it was a real stall......but......it wasn't really a clutch issue. I thought I was in neutral and let the clutch out...but I was in gear. But still...if I had been more aware I could have pulled the clutch back in before it stalled....so maybe it is clutch.

[NurdDesigns]

I love you

[MrRealSteal]

At 1:35 ahahahaha trololololol

[MrSaintSoulja]

@jeenyus720 Yeah, you feel like a failure for a second

So...your gf has a penis?

[da9illest821]

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard....

[PoweredByTheHaters]

interesting, i feather the clutch longer than i should too maybe i should try it =D, and i was half expecting the outro-clip to be the video of you stalling your bike when you were trying to go from a standstill lol XD.

[jeenyus720]

Theres nothing like stalling your bike while pulling into or out of a motorcycle hangout lol

[13mordeth]

@jeenyus720 You know that motorcycle shop I always go to? Well one time I tried doing a stoppie in front of the entrance. And there was an empty pack of ciggarettes on the ground.....and I crashed in front of all the motorcycle customers and employees. LOL. And then a couple of weeks after that I was at the shop and an employee was telling me about some loser who crashed in front of their shop.....and I was like "Yeah.....that was me."

[DaToNyOyO]

@13mordeth Reminds me of the time I took my bike in for a service and the mechanic threw it down the road, right outside the workshop in front of a dozen people. I was not impressed. It was an Aprilia and it took a month to get the parts for it to be fixed :(

[jeenyus720]

@13mordeth hahahha you weren't filming?

[NicThatRussianGuy]

I'M HERE TO RACE!

@13mordeth You bastard.

[TFDLegendNL]

@13mordeth Nooo why!!! I liked you and your Opinion!!! But Pepsi?! Omg.....

[13mordeth]

@TFDLegendNL The majority of people prefer Pepsi to Coke....but those same people still buy Coke when they go to the store. Pepsi has the better drink and Coke has the better advertising........advertising wins.

@123blue93 Search: M13 Race Track

[ammiles43]

i'm new to bikes but my sense is that things have changed, engines now generally designed to feather and slip clutch while keeping revs in power range, and different engine types (2 cyls etc) are smoother through different power bands .. so do what works for you and your'n bike .. i've watched training vids of guys on the biggest bikes teach slow mo maneuvering skills, and it is all about keeping the revs centered for what you're doing and fine tune with clutch .. go with your own instincts !

Racetrack for an hour is better than no track at all :)
