Do you know what the clutch is?
Clutch?
What's clutch?
The clutch transmits and cuts engine power to the wheel.
When the engine power is transmitted to the wheel, the wheel starts rotating!
You're right!
In the case of stopping motorcycle like waiting at the stoplights, pulling the clutch lever, the clutch is cut off.
Umm... what will happen if you don't pull the clutch lever?
If you try to stop your motorcycle without pulling the clutch lever, the engine stops running as the wheel stops.
You're right!
Once you understand what the clutch does, let's take a look inside the clutch!
There are a lot of something like rings!
Exactly. Take a closer look!
There are two types of parts sandwiched alternately.
The brown ones are called the "clutch disc" and they get worn out gradually as you use your motorcycle.
What if they get worn out?
The engine power will be not transmitted effectively to the wheel, am I right?
That’s right!
The clutch slips and it causes problem like it gets hard to increase speed even if throttling or it can't start moving at all in the worst case!
Really!?
In order to avoid these situations, you need to get checked your clutch regularly!
