If your clutch is properly set you shouldn't have to pull it all they way back to the grips. I use my middle and ring finger to pull it. It's all a matter of preference really.
so I operate the clutch on a motorcycle much the same as I would on a 15-speed dump truck, that is to say, not ever slipping it under power except to start moving and for a very short

Just haulin down a straight I'll slip the clutch a bit, but never fully pull it in.
You know you are right about the clutch being capable of taking this abuse, I have a tractor with a wet clutch too. But therein lies my problem, I spend way too much time on trucks and tractors and I do not seem to have a dual-mode brain so I am really only able to contain one clutch strategy.
What bike are you riding and how much do you weigh? A large person on a 125 might need to start in 1st, while a smaller (or more capable) rider on a 500 can start in 3rd.Originally posted by FDR492
When coming out of the gates , i start in first gear because otherwise my bike bogs. When im shifting taking off from the start is it better to let of the throttle when i pull in the clutch to shift or just continue to do what i do (keep on the throttle even when i pull in the clutch to shift [to keep the RPMS decently high]) ? Any ideas?
Thanks
There is an adjustment at the perch (where the cable attaches to the perch) and another on the cable (just behind the top of the number plate) that allows you to effectively lengthen the outer sheath of the cable.Originally posted by cr25096er
on my cr250 the clutch starts pulling real soon. how can i adjust it so it grabs later so i can use 2 fingers to pull it?
