Today we will talk about the principle of operation of a motorcycle clutch.
One way or another, the principle of operation of a motorcycle clutch remains virtually unchanged on all motorcycles. If you want to troll major Ducati owners, ask why their clutch rattles))) A small excerpt from Wikipedia:
Clutch is a mechanism whose operation is based on the action of sliding friction (friction clutch); designed to transmit torque, smooth gear shifts, dampen torsional vibrations, and briefly disconnect the transmission from the engine flywheel.
Generally, the term "clutch" refers to the component of a vehicle's transmission designed to engage or disengage the connection between the internal combustion engine and the transmission. The invention of the clutch is credited to Karl Benz.
note
The clutch serves to temporarily disconnect the engine crankshaft from the vehicle’s power transmission, which is necessary when switching gears in the gearbox and when braking the vehicle until it comes to a complete stop. In addition, the clutch makes it possible to move away smoothly (without jerking).
