A slipper clutch, also known as a back-torque limiter, is a type of clutch used in motorcycles to prevent the rear wheel from locking during aggressive downshifting. It allows the clutch to slip slightly when the engine speed exceeds the wheel speed, which helps maintain traction and stability. This feature is especially beneficial in high-performance bikes and racing scenarios, as it enhances control and reduces the risk of skidding. Overall, a slipper clutch improves the riding experience by providing smoother transitions and better handling during deceleration.

Yes, it does, and the same is true of almost all modern motorcycles.
bad clutch cable, or not enough oil on the clutch plates.
Yes of course they have clutch because this very necessary part of bike.
actually i ride bikes and the clutch to change gears is on the left , very few have it on the right
depends on the bike, on our wet sump, we use regular petroleum, on the dry clutch, can use fully synthetic, can feel power differently, but full synthetic makes the clutch slip on wet clutch bikes.
Shifting a motorcycle made for racing is very similar to shifting a street motorcycle. The only difference is some racing motorcycles may have a slipper clutch and/ or a quicker shifter. The common way to upshift on a track motorcycle is clutchless. To do this, when you are at the rpm range you want to shift up, you preload the shifter lever with a bit of pressure from your foot and then decrease the gas a little. It should bump into the next gear and then you proceed to pin the gas again. On down shifting, there are two techniques, and it really depends if you have a slipper clutch or not. To down shift without a slipper clutch: Pull in clutch, give momentary spurt of throttle to match theoretical rpms of next lower gear, and release the clutch quickly. Consequence of not burping throttle to next rpm is back wheel chatter while engine is forced to match rpms itself. Back wheel may even lock causing a skid. Another easier technique, commonly used by street riders, but not on the track due to it being much slower, is to let the clutch out slowly after shifting. To down shift with a slipper clutch: Pull in shift level, down shift, release shift lever. If rpms are out of whack, slipper clutch will let clutch slip until they are matched..
The clutch is non-adjustable. It uses hydraulic fluid to release the clutch. If you are experiencing a dragging clutch, check your plates for warpage. This bike uses a 'slipper' type clutch so having the correct plates in certain places is important. If you have not changed your plates and they are the originals, check that the clutch fluid doesnt have air in it.
