do you burn your clutch more rapidly if you use the "friction zone" while practicing?

do you have to press (tap) on the rear brake for the entire time while "slow racing"?

[motorman857]

@ivanovivan11 Not if you follow the directions I give you in my video.  You should never burn your clutch out. Yes, during slow/low speed and turns, you are applying light pressure on your rear "controlling" brake.

@ivanovivan11 That's a bit of a concern for me too. Being a truck driver, you are always mindful of not "riding the clutch" so as not to burn it out. It's the same with riding the brake. You would have to think that these big bikes ,doing all these demonstrations, would wear out clutches, and brake disc pads at a hell of a rate of knots.It's a small price to pay for safe riding,i agree, but its something i have wondered about. I'll happily replace brake pads if I end up riding like these people.

@steiny47 Most motorcycles are designed with a WET clutch, unlike automobiles that have DRY clutches. Some motorcycles, BMW and Ducati's come to mind, they have the DRY clutch. All that means is they breeze their bikes out after every couple minutes of riding, you should never burn out a clutch or rear brake pads while riding at slow speeds. Learn how to master the techniques and you will never burn a clutch out. I go over this in my book and videos. Hope this helps.

I just recently laid my bike down... I have a feeling if I would have seen some of your videos @motorman857 It would be a different story...

[motorman857]

@kukalie83 Practice is the key, glad I'm helping you see how mastering the three techniques is so important....

@ivanovivan11 - I believe more mc-riders could do this show that is shown here, but the risk of turn over is stopping most of us. if you are flat with a Harley like this it will cost you. give me some weeks and 5 electraglides then I will do the same.

I did the same, but that is many years ago., - today I cant afford to practise like this.

@kukalie83 I totally agree with that statement. A couple of little blunders i made wouldn't have happened had i watched Jerry's youtubes earlier. "Target fixation" and "Head and eyes" come straight to mind.I've just bough RLAP V and Deals Gap DVD's ...best money i ever spent. I'll be ordering the book soon. I cant believe how much I've learned from these short, informative video clips.

Just a reminder... Even if you have ALMOST perfected these techniques on one machine does NOT mean you have the same level of performance with a different machine.

If you ride more than one type of motorcycle, please practice on both!

What I can do on my Ultra Classic is wayyyyy different from what I can do on my Goldwing.

Now if I could just get used to all the parts that scrape BEFORE my boards on the Harley, i'll be okay.

As always, have fun, but be safe about it!
