Clutch pops are a hard thing to explain. This is my version of a crash course on how to pop the clutch on a dirt bike. This is a skill that comes in handy all the time out on the trail! Whether you need to move the front wheel into a different line, or you need to get it up and over an obstacles, you'll find yourself making use of this skill constantly once you learn.

Thank you. No one else has given that much detail, if they even try to explain it at all

I really appreciate the precision that you give in direction. Timing is everything and being able to see when your hands are doing the transition is key.

Oh wow! I've been 1 finger clutching withy pointer finger but middle finger makes so much more sense, it's a lot stronger. Thanks for showing that in the video!

@megs_braap 2 года назад

Using your pointer finger isn't a bad habit. Many top riders will argue that you have more control with the pointer than the middle. I developed this bad habit because my hands are so small and my middle finger happens to be the only one that reaches haha!

I have small weak computer guy weekend warrior hands :(. If only my bars had enough room to slide the perch over a bit! Dual sports have a lot of stuff on there!

@HippoDrones 2 года назад

awesome seeing both hands in action to break down the method!

@jer3996 2 года назад

Your videos are always spot on. I like that you use the social finger instead of the index finger. I used the index for most of my life until I hurt it pretty good at work. Used the middle on a ride for a day and now I use it most of the time. At 5'7" it helps reach the lever quite a bit. The again for the great vid Meg.

That one finger clutch and brake really impressive, strong hands.

@megs_braap 2 года назад

Hey John, my clutch pull isn't extremely heavy. If you find it tough to pull in your clutch with one finger, you might have a clutch pull that is too heavy. Depending on whether you have a cable clutch or a hydraulic clutch, there are things you can do to make it easier to pull in your clutch. One finger on the clutch is ideal because you get the most control with one finger.

@mofekka Год назад

you should mention hip/body weight factors. load the front forks. watch hip movement at 51 seconds. Your hips move back as you pull the bars a bit after loading the front suspension. Its obvious while watching but helps to understand the timing of that body movement along with the clutch/throttle.

@dageonyar 2 года назад

Can't wait for the snow to melt to practice this! Coming from a street cruiser background, my clutch work is terrible lol

@megs_braap 2 года назад

Heck yeah, practice makes progress! We all have a long way to go when it comes to clutch control. The learning never ends for me either!

@SVWetHorizon 2 года назад

Does this technique work the same with a 4 stroke? I have a hard time trying to get my front wheel to come up I’m trying to learn clutch control and how to get over logs !

@julier7348 2 года назад

This was an awesome video! Thank you for breaking it down. I can do them sporadically now, next up to get them consistent.

@mopiktm9480 2 года назад

I see you have the end ball on the clutch lever. I always ✂️ them. But I am careful to cut just the ball and not at the notches that KTM have. 😘😁

@jeffc253 2 года назад

Have to echo the great video opinion!! Great shots and editing... of course with solo mo and high def I need to know what bar bag your using :)!

funny, I was super-into the slow-mo hand stuff too, awesome look!.. but noticed the bag also (I got my pair at a diner, with a thrift counter, $1 apiece! ).. different make, but my favorite add-on.. super helpful vid!

@kooperadams1519 Год назад

My main problem is stalling the bike when letting the clutch out mine Likes it nice a slow? Is it the clutch or the adjustment on it?

@yodatw 2 года назад

You make it look easy when I do it I look like a muppet being shot out of a cannon. I will keep trying though!

@speedbarr7139 Год назад

what do they mean when slipping the clutch? bcoz i always hear this in the tutorials

@taliewhispersasmr2401 2 года назад

question, do you need to pull on the handle bars also to help lift the bike up while doing the clutch pop? Or does the front tire come up on its own?

@megs_braap 2 года назад

Try not to pull on the bars and let the bike do the work. Pulling up wastes energy and doesn’t do anything really for helping bring the front end up. I hope this helps!

Is this harder to learn on a 4 stroke?

Do you always use the "FU" finger for the clutch?? If so why? Great vids!

@Crunchyredneck 2 года назад

I am riding a 2021 KLX230R and it doesn't have much power. Should I give it more throttle sooner? Also keep up the great work, I love the videos

@megs_braap 2 года назад

Yes, on air cooled 4 strokes, you’re going to have to give it a wee bit more throttle and get on it a bit sooner because they aren’t as responsive. Once you master the timing though, you’ll be able to do beautiful clutch pops on that bike. And thank you for the kind words!

@Crunchyredneck 2 года назад

Also I have one more question. I find it hard to twist the throttle and cover the brake lever at the same time. Is there any techniqueb to that?

@megs_braap 2 года назад

MackRATRODDER Right that’s tough! I don’t have a specific technique that I use for that. I suppose it just comes with lots of practice and repetition!

@Crunchyredneck 2 года назад

I went from a CRF50F to a KLX110L to a KX250F! And decided it had way too much power so I went to the 230R
