What Happens If You Release Your Clutch Too Fast?

The technique and speed you use to release the clutch on a motorcycle will determine whether you enter the friction zone or stall the bike. Practice slowly releasing the clutch until your bike starts to move forward.

Me every time I stop at a stop sign with traffic behind me

appreciate to see there still are people putting out content to help new bikers out👍. stay safe and remember to dress for the slide, not the ride.

This video is honestly great. It may seem obvious but this helps new riders understand how to ride. Even if you just got your license

Hey guys, if you’re new to riding, very slowly release the clutch until bike starts moving slightly and walk with it, helps you find the friction zone. When I got a first bike from dealer that’s how I got ready to ride back home, and it was the greatest feeling ever

for my first bike and couldn’t leave the parking lot of the dealership cause i kept dumping the clutch too fast 😂 was pissed but had the guy come show me and been doing better and better everyday

One of the first things we had to learn in class was letting the bike stall by releasing the clutch fast while applying front brake. Taught us to get comfortable with that feel incase it happens and to learn to turn the bike on after. Useful tool to learn I’d say if u stall ur bike in the middle of traffic light

Had my MSF course today, never ridden a bike or motorcycle. Just a couple yt vids and I got sent home early. I must’ve stalled 40 times. I’ll be back next week with more practice, don’t worry guys you have to persevere!

Went to a gas station to you know.. get gas, had trouble finding neutral and just said "f it", killed the bike, got my gas, forgot it was still in gear, tried to start it in front of the station clerk, and nearly shit myself when I was indubitably blessed with this mini heartattack

Thank you for showing this because I had an idea what would happen but seeing it more visually what would happen helps me to understand what NOT to do. Appreciate it.

Happens to me literally every time I try to take off. Still just cruising in empty parking lots till I get it down!

When I was riding a bike for the first time, (not on highways or anything, just on a driveway) that kept happening. I had to take many deep breaths and calm down that day. Still fun though!

When you stopped at the red light and though, you already on Neutral position :

if you do this in a car, the car can dance fr fr. especially if youre persistent

[EUKBIKER]

I like the way everyone is there like "Set off nice and slow, let clutch out slow", but i got taught the other method of "Screw that just put power on and dump clutch, if you start to wheelie just roll off a little".

[MrRepro]

Now do that while you're at full throttle 🤣😏

[Boyiaka]

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but don’t be afraid to give the bike a little throttle as you release the clutch - especially on hills. That will help with stalls and you’ll eventually fine tune that throttle control so that it becomes one smooth motion as well.

Naww that's just the ejector button💀

[Binballinbrand]

Thank you! I need more tips like these! I'm a rookie, and I been struggling at stops and intersections!

After my accident, and my time to ride again.arrived, i did just that, and i think in my mind, I wasnt ready to get back on, even though i thought i should be already riding, but i did exactly what you showed, thanx for the few sec to tell people this, Clutches are important to use properly, but my mind that day deliberately didnt want to ride, i crushed my foot in a building accident, broke every one of the 24 bones in the foot

Only when switching from the first to second gear tho, you can release it fast when switching to lower gears if you learn rev matching
