spicymayo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Excuse my ignorance, I know what a slipper clutch is, but an assist clutch? does that just mean it's hydraulic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Excuse my ignorance, I know what a slipper clutch is, but an assist clutch? does that just mean it's hydraulic? ive not seen how they do it, whether hydrolic or by other means, but it's supposed to take 20% less force to engage. I've been researching this bike pretty heavily as I have a buddy interested in it. He really likes everything about my bike except how high the seat is but he doesn't want the FZ because no ABS or TCS. I'm going to a motorcycle show Saturday with him. We are hoping it is there.
