How to improve your clutch control in motorbike

Clutch control is essential for all motorcyclists. But even for the seasoned biker, good clutch control is crucial for hill starts as well as for slow riding – which is a skill you’ll need for filtering safely through that early morning traffic
It’s important to know that mastering the clutch will be different on every single motorcycle you ride.
This is because a clutch’s “biting point” or “friction zone” can change over time and will differ from one motorcycle to another. Therefore, it’s important to get used to feeling where the biting point is.
To master the clutch out on the road, you need to find the perfect balance of handling the clutch, throttle, and back brake.
When getting to grips with the clutch, it’s good to remember that revs are your friend. Low revs = a high chance of stalling.
You can use your clutch to control the speed. It’s possible to max out your revs and still move slowly if you control your clutch correctly.
Slowly let out and release your left-hand grip for speed, pulling back the clutch or clenching your fingers to slow back down.
When you are at the point of achieving this autonomously you know you’ve achieved a key riding skill.
For further tips on stalling a motorcycle and tips to preventing this:
SLIPPING THE CLUTCH
Holding the clutch lever partially around the bite point/friction zone for longer periods other than moving off is called slipping the clutch.
This is necessary as it allows the engine to spin faster but the motorcycle to move slower – a technique useful in slow-moving traffic.
However, only slip the clutch when it’s necessary as it causes excessive wear on the clutch.
COASTING
Coasting on a motorcycle is where the clutch is pulled in for too long and can be potentially dangerous.
It can also fail a motorcycle module 1 or module 2 riding test.
