Do You Need to Hold the Clutch When Stopping at a Red Light on a Motorcycle?

[VanNadia]

Whether you need to hold the clutch when stopping at a red light on a motorcycle depends on the specific situation. Here are the details: 1. Short waiting time: If the waiting time is short, such as within 30 seconds, you can hold the clutch while waiting. 2. Long waiting time: If the waiting time is too long, exceeding 30 seconds or even a minute and a half, holding the clutch continuously may cause hand fatigue, as the clutch on some models is as heavy as a grip exerciser. Additionally, it may lead to clutch plate wear. For long waits, it is recommended to shift to neutral or turn off the engine.
