The center of the clutch is attached directly to the engine crankshaft, when the engine rotates faster the centrifical force spins weighted arms that are attached to the center of the clutch to the outside casing of the clutch forcing it to spin when the arms touch it. The outside casing acts as a pulley for a chain or a belt, separated from the center of the clutch by bearings so that it does not spin until the arms touch it.

When starting a dirt bike should you hold the clutch?

It all depends on what kind of dirt bike you have. If the clutch isn't a centrifugal clutch, (which means the clutch engages a certain acceleration speed) then usually the bike will force you to be in neutral, and hold in the clutch when starting it. If it is a centrifugal clutch, then usually you only have to be in neutral, since the driver isn't in control of the clutch. hope this helps.
