Slipper Clutch

[t1gg3r]

OK me being Daft here probably

Whats the benefits of a slipper clutch?

And does this mean id have to adjust my riding style?

I suppose what im asking is what would I have to differently if I had a bike with a slipper clutch?

[Biker Dude]

well basically a slipper clutch means u can go down throught the gear box without the back end locking up and doing the foxtrot... a slipper clutch disenguages the clutch plates so the rear can spin freeley. The ZXR400 and vfr 400 NC30 both have slipper clutches, but they only disenguage half the clutch plates...but it all helps

[t1gg3r]

[Biker Dude]

ermm, i'll say no coz i've never heard it mentioned but i could be wrong.

You will need to change your style as you will need to use more brakes as engine breaking is reduced.

What yr duke are you on about when u say the slipper clutch is crap, as Im may have the Use of a 2000 748BP in the summer which has the slipper clutch fitted as an add on. (belongs to my future brother in law but he dont use it much)
