[QUOTE="bbbom, post: 244051, member: 16301"] Have to agree with Old-N-Slow - they figure the clutch out fast. My son started on a 74MR50 at age 4 1/2. One day and he was good to go with the clutch. He moved to a KX60 at age 6 and rode some gnarly trails on it. His dad gave him an 01CR80E last year - at age 9 and after we put smaller rims & tires on it so he could almost touch with one foot, he was back on the trails. The KX60 was fine for him on the trails. He rarely stalled or fouled plugs and was always showing the older kids on the XR100's how to tackle the tougher trails. But then, when mom drags you up the trails on an MR50 at age 5, you get used to them. My daughter started at age 5 on an auto tranny LEM because she didn't have the physical strength he had at 4 1/2. She's moving to the KX60 or the MR50 this spring (depending upon how much she grows) so she can learn to use the clutch. I prefer to have the kid start out with a clutch, they are going to need the skill on the trails eventually. [/QUOTE]
