Nope, you don't even have to single clutch... I work with a few people who only touch the clutch when making a full stop. Personally, I think it's hard to do, and I single clutch. If you're ever testing with DOT, you best make sure you're double clutching though, because that's the "correct" way to shift, in their book.
Yes you do. Flywheel on the Semi's are very heavy and in order to sync right you have to double clutch.
All Yamaha PW80 s have 3 semi automatic gears ( no clutch lever etc )
Semi-Automatic. The gears are changed by machine, but the driver can decide what gear the car should be in.
IMO also the fact is yes it is better than conventional manual, the paddle shifters behind the wheel to change gears & it's clutch less. It has a robotized clutch & the shifting are much quicker/faster than with stick shift manual. Even the best/experienced driver can't change gears as fast using clutch as the semi auto. Semi auto changes gears faster will result with better acceleration & has the advantage in races. They really benefits for F1 cars & now for many exotic cars.
Not with the clutch by itself.
You don't. They use either a linkage or a hydraulic clutch.
You ONLY use the clutch brake when you're at a complete stop.
burnt clutch will smell something like burnt brake pads.. usually clutch disk have semi metallic pads
Check out my bio page for help on adjusting your semi-auto clutch.
It is Electronic gear control. A semi automatic gear box which although takes getting use to, can return better mpg and the same performance as a manual box. The gears are changed by either paddles in the wheel or a sequential gear stick. It does not have a clutch pedal.
No. The gears are integrated within the engine so the gears share the engine oil.
No you don't need to clutch there semi-automatic but clutching does no harm and it will teach you to clutch if you ever change bike. Hope this helps you :)
