Is clutching different between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke?
Posted by ronronmx in Quick Tips on March 2nd, 2010
Would you say there’s different techniques on when to/not to use the clutch with a 2-stroke versus a 4-stroke?
When people first make the transition from a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke, they try to ride it just like they used to ride their old 2 stroke dirt bike, and quickly realize (hopefully) that 4 strokes are a different beast to tame and that they need to change their riding style a little bit.

Quick Tip: Ride with 1 finger on the clutch and front brake

A mistake I see many beginner-intermediate riders make is gripping both handlebar grips with all 5 fingers and only grabbing the brake or clutch when needed.
The problem with this is that you loose control of your bike during that transition from grips to clutch/front brake lever, and if you’re doing it while riding through braking bumps, you have a high chance of loosing control of your bike or having your hand slip of the grips.
