Is the motorcycle clutch in neutral?
Release date:2024.10.24

Motorcycle clutch is definitely not neutral, it is not an operating handle? Of course, this answer is not correct, the motorcycle clutch is not neutral, depends on how you understand the main role of the clutch.



The whole power transmission system of the motorcycle is relatively simple, and the clutch is an indispensable device in the whole transmission process. The main function of the clutch is to transfer and cut off the power transmitted by the engine to the gearbox, it is the cache area in the entire power transmission process, with the existence of this device, the vehicle will start and shift more smoothly, and its operability will be stronger.


As long as the clutch is completely separated during normal operation, the driving force of the engine cannot be transmitted to the gearbox, so the separation state of the clutch will also cause the vehicle to be in neutral, so the process of clutch separation is equivalent to neutral. (Scooter is designed in this way)


It is also because of its characteristics that some old drivers will hold the clutch and not adjust the gear when they are sliding downhill, so that the vehicle is in a "in stop" gliding state. Of course, such an operation is not correct from the safety of the motorcycle, because it has lost the traction of the engine, the deceleration of the vehicle is completely handed over to the brake system, and sometimes it is easy to lose control of the vehicle.


However, from the point of view of the mechanical principle and the correct operation method, the motorcycle clutch has no relationship with the neutral. First of all, the clutch is an independent device, it is between the engine crankshaft and the gearbox, and the motorcycle neutral is achieved through the gearbox gear dislocation, under normal circumstances, the motorcycle no matter how many drive gears, must leave a neutral, because the role of the neutral is very large, it can ensure the normal movement of the vehicle, but also can achieve the normal start of the vehicle. So from this point of view, the motorcycle clutch and neutral are not necessarily related, they belong to two different devices.



To sum up, the neutral of the motorcycle is mainly achieved through the gearbox, but because of the particularity of the clutch, if the clutch is separated in the actual operation, because the vehicle loses the driving force, it will seem to be in a neutral state, but it is definitely not normal to obtain the neutral of the vehicle by such an operation method. (except for automatic separation models)
