Learn masterful clutch control in seconds | MiniTip Monday

----
Great clutch control is at the heart of all off-road riding. The better you understand it the better you'll be able to learn new skills, take your bike to harder places and improve as a rider.

I love this drill as a method of hacking your clutch control and teaching yourself to have better muscle memory. The art of moving the clutch less and being precise with it carries over to almost every advanced riding skill I can think of.

Fortunately, it's a surprisingly simple skill to understand and learn, meaning that you can start improving really quickly. As usual, if you've got any questions about getting better on the bike, then let me know in the comments!

The feeling when you watch the video and you say okay, I got it. Can’t do anything when you actually go out and try.

I was trying to explain this to a New to ADV riding guy the other day I use this a lot in the bush to not stall the bike during obstacles, set the throttle at a higher RPM and as you say rock the bike I use this to create momentum and boom works a treat. I'll share this video with our group thanks so much cool and concise instructions Winner cheers. We were on KTM790 Rs the rest of the Group were riding DR650s there was also plenty of sand which was thankfully damp but a real pain on the 790. Happy Trails mate

Loved it! Nice. I really need to do some rider training. Went dirt biking on the weekend, for the first time in 30 years - forgot how awesome it was, especially with no expectations of myself.

[suhashegde]

Would be great if can talk about constant throttle control. Especially while your standing during off road riding. Thanks

[kttmmedellin]

A skill that came in way handy on the back road from Salgar to Concordia I can tell you! Nothing like a good ol Colombian back road

I did this with a 2x4 in front of the front tire, the idea, to get on, but not roll over, the 2x4. Did my kids a world of good. That and slow riding.

So some say to pull the clutch lever all the way in when shifting and some don't. Your opinion?

[michaelcaton]

Llel, you are my mate who I am usually waiting for because they lost/forgotten/ slow to put on

Clutch related question- a more experienced rider than I recently suggested to maintain a steady throttle on trails and use the clutch to cut power to adjust speed etc. I was taught by a professional instructor with good riding and racing experience over his lifetime to leave the clutch alone as much as possible which means using the throttle. Former technique seems unusual to me. Which do you think is the better way?

My wife is wanting to move from a 400cc scooter to a small- medium motorcycle. She worries about having to use a clutch, especially on inclines. This video is a real eye-opener on how to get her started on clutch control.

Hi LLEL.
Would you like to make a video about riding long deep muddy ruts in the TET or other greenlaning? Sometimes a 4x4 or tractor have been driving through the trails and they leave these very long slippery ruts with steep banks. I find it difficult to ride.

[dinokadunic]

Can you show us how you set your clutch up for off roading and I mean hydrolic clutch 2.. Because all clutches you have to pull in all the way, when you ride off-road, you need to be able to hold your 2 fingers for better controle..

[eliansaul]

So im having trouble with the clutch it hitting my knuckles yeah Ik it’s my hand position but ig it’s the most comfortable way to hold it
