Also, you don't ever have to worry about burning the clutch out like you do on a car. The clutch on a motorcycle works entirely differently. On a car, the clutch is dry, and has one friction plate pressing against a hunk of metal. When you let it slip a lot, it heats up and eventually fails. On a bike, the clutch has multiple friction plates and they are submerged in oil. You can slip the clutch all day long and the plates will only wear a little because the oil takes the heat away from the plates. The clutch is your friend on a motorcycle, your forearm WILL be sore after the first day of riding.
