First Gear Clutch Rev-Assist

Recommended Posts

I know it has been discussed before, but not to what extent.

As we know, while slipping the lever out in first, the bike raises rpm from idle to help with starting. What is the mechanism that causes this? Clutch switch? or a switch perhaps actuated by the slave cylinder?

 

I would like to know, because I would like to be able to go back to two-fingering the lever. I used to, on other bikes, but even with my average sized hands, pulling the lever back to touch my ring and pinky, the revs increase a 100 rpm or so. I do not want to be unnecessarily slipping the clutch, so I have long since stopped the behavior. That said, while in gear, there is no discernible push forward while in first, and tholding with just two fingers.

Activated by the Clutch switch, RPM is increased by 250 rpm from memory. Shouldn't be an issue for your two finger operation, you are obviously pulling in far enough to be outside the friction zone.
