New rider here. You just saved me from diving into a false clutch repair job. Turns out it was an operator ID10T error. Thank-you!

lmao I though something was wrong with my bike because I was stalling so much! I was letting it out at the end too fast, once I got moving I was like "okay release it" I was getting mad because I was giving it enough gas. You know its a really good feeling when you find out that your bike is broken, it's just cause you're own stupid fault :) we need experts in this world lol! Thank you so much for this video, because hardly any even indurate that at all

I’m only a new rider as well but I wait till I have enough speed to put both feet on the pegs to release the clutch haven’t stalled it since I began doing tjat

[MotocrossHideout]

What's your biggest struggle when it comes to clutch control?

[DracoNotOsama]

he looked at us like an angel has came with the solution 😭 good video Ong

[lazy]

Just to make sure. You should use a little throttle before letting out the clutch then as it’s engaging use the throttle more?

[mattmontana]

If you stop while in 3rd or 2nd gear then decide to shift all the way down to 1st (of course while still holding the clutch) will that damage the engine? As opposed to gradually downshifting

Hey man i just started riding never rode before what do you do when the dirt bike stops when your stopping

[grantisntwarm]

Thank you I no joke stalled my new bike like 10 times in a row 😂😂

[d.pickle]

Thanks I needed this after stalling on the middle of the road after a red light 😭 and then the cops pulling up and me turning it on just for it to stall again luckily they let me go because I said I was heading home

[soy-toxic-]

So if I wanna stop just for 10 seconds like in the corner of a road I just hold in the clutch in 1st and press the brake

see even when I ease my clutch it stalls out and if keep it in neutral and then put it in gear it stalls out if I have it in gear and ease the clutch out and give it sum gas it stalls out and idk what to do cuz I just got the bike I don't wanna sell it but idk what to do at this point cuz im trying everything im being told and it still stalls out it rode fine the first day I had it and now it'll start up but won't drive and if it stalls out while it in gear I can't get it back into neutral

[bradman]

My cousin is always rubbing it in my face because i always stall when riding but i found this video very useful so thanks

[Drey-re]

I’m so confused. my bike seems to drives normal and all my slack is set I believe correctly, but it won’t roll freely in gear with clutch pulled in, bike on or off. Also in first it pulls very slightly with clutch all the way in, thoughts?

[DusStanGames]

Do you know why i always have to wait 10 minuts before my will start again after stalling?

[cujosandlot]

Do you know what could be causing my bike to stall when shifting into second gear, im a new rider btw

[segsybennett]

So let's say your stopped for a while, do you hold down the clutch or just but the bike in neutral?

[JoshSmith-zj]

I do the same thing new writer here same thing

[punchergraber]

My bikes point of engagement is way more than half way what could be the problem ? Or is that just my bike
