What an excellent video and an excellent teacher!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain how this works and make this video. I am beyond grateful to be able to understand whats typically, a perplexing or intimidating topic in the world of motorcycles and automobiles. Your video made it incredibly easy to grasp. Thank you

I have probably watched about 10-12 videos on disassembly/installation of the clutch and none of them explained the basics of how everything works together like you did!! I really like how you have all the parts pulled part and show how they interact with each other when they are moving. I could clearly see how each part works in conjunction in the overall operation of the clutch. Great video!! Thanks Man.

Dear Sir,
I truly appreciate your energy and effort to post this video! It takes a MASTER TEACHER to explain complex things so well that even a young child can comprehend and visualize with clarity and and understanding. Thank you for taking the time and energy to post such a comprehensive and thorough explanation of a motorcycle's clutch. Though my experience is in jet engines and muscle cars, I feel so ever greatly improved and educated with another mechanical system. Thank you again and WELL DONE!

Dude! This explanation is the best on YouTube! It's so detailed and so simple. I watched some other explanations but they didn't really explain it as thoroughly as you did :)
I already know how car clutches work, I was just curious about bike clutches because I am almost done with my bike license!

This is a very nice explanation of how a clutch works. The one thing I would add is the fact that this is a wet clutch with engine oil circulating through it.  The viscosity or thickness of the oil could effect how the clutch operates.  The  oil is used to prolong clutch life.  Engine oil viscosity can be a factor in how well the clutch operates.

The best video about a motorcycle clutch that I have ever seen.

Think this is one of the best explanations of the workings of the clutch that I've seen on the tube.

Some may think your commentary is elementary but it is perfect, any one can understand how it works and see the result of squeezing a clutch lever and understand the results. This may very well save some from burning out their clutches now that they know what is happening.
Thanks so much Al!

Thank you for making this video.
There are many people who have knowledge and understanding of how it works, but they can't explain it in a visually comprehensible way. Even though some invest in making 3D images, would you believe that after watching yours, I could understand it immediately, and it was very easy to grasp.

This is really great way to explain how this works. I had a vague idea but never as clear of a picture as I do now after watching this video. Looking forward to watching the other videos as well

Neat. I just stumbled onto this video while watching some motorcycle reviews. Nice job of explaining how the clutch mechanism works. Thanks for taking the time to post this video.

that was a great video. I'm new to bikes and now I have a real good understanding of how motorcycle clutches work..

[needlesandseats]

I'm blown away at how complex it's always thought to be but once you had explained it, it just all made sense

[yummy]
