Even when making a panic stop, pulling in the clutch is probably the LAST thing you should be doing.....not the first. |
We were taught to grab both the clutch and brake in an emergency stop. Also use the rear brake. By pulling in the clutch the rider is already in a position to gear down to match the tranny to the bike's speed. It is a good thing to practice to keep you safe. I had to make an emergency slow down when a deer leaped across the road in front of me. I was also in the right gear to get the hell outta Dodge because the cage behind me did not slow down.
