Should You Pull the Clutch When Emergency Braking on a Motorcycle?

[OElisa]

If you need to brake when coming to a stop, you should pull the clutch. After braking, shift the gear to neutral with your foot, and release the clutch once the bike is fully stopped. If you're braking to slow down—such as when encountering pedestrians, vehicles, or obstacles requiring brief deceleration—there's no need to pull the clutch. In practical operation, you only need to pull the clutch when the braking causes insufficient power and the engine feels like it's about to stall. At this point, you should either stop completely or downshift. Relevant information about the clutch is as follows: Introduction: The clutch is located inside the flywheel housing between the engine and the transmission. The clutch assembly is secured to the rear plane of the flywheel with screws, and the output shaft of the clutch serves as the input shaft of the transmission. Friction Clutch: The friction clutch is the most widely used and historically longest-standing type of clutch. It primarily consists of four parts: the driving section, the driven section, the pressing mechanism, and the operating mechanism.
