Hey #PDArmy, did this help you know more about the clutching systems? Let us know below what you think, or if you have any doubts. Hit that Like button if we should make more like this, and Share this with a friend.
Before watching your video about braking, used 4 figers of my right hand, then gradually changed to two. Going forward will try to use 2 fingers for pressing clutch lever as well.
Everything you said is absolutely right. But you skipped a basic thing. Cable clutch have some amount of friction, so the failure chance is higher in cable clutch, but not in hydraulic clutch. And this is India, here manufacturers do cost cutting a lot. So they always don't provide the best. My pulsar rs200 had a clutch cable failure after 6 months of purchase.
Request for Video Editor of PD, please make Shumi's voice louder. This is not the first time that vocals are half the volume of music. Love the content btw.
hi Shumi ji, Please discuss regarding "there is difference in tyre sections of front and rear tyre, if we want to upgrade tyres to higher section, should we need to maintain the same difference of section between the front and rear tyre". or can we decrease or increase the difference of section between front and rear tyres. what are the consequences and how riding feel of bike changes ? Thank You, Shumi for ur videos on motorcyles.
Couldn't agree with you more Shumi. Modifying the cable operated clutch is much simpler and cost effective than going in for a full hydraulic set up. And yes, i use the finger trick all the time, no matter what bike i am on 🙂👍
Additionally cables are not very good while turning the lever pull is increased hydraulic makes it simpler but you shared 2 most important jugaad for making cable actuation lighter that really helps
Needless to say; smashing video as always! PD, Shumi, kindly consider doing a video on engine break-in and common myths surrounding the same, for the next simplified episode. Too many contradictory theories out there! 🥲
Great point! You did miss out on a simple yet effective way to get great leverage, adjustable clutch levers. These are simple, reliable and helps get great clutch leverage.
@@shu_mar Can you please explain then, why there are notches provided in the levers so that it can move forward and backward, if not for leverage and reach, then what is it for, please.
Isn't getting a longer lever (for the clutch-box end) the same as those easy-clutch attachments? They reduce clutch travel on the clutch-box side to make the pull easier. With these gadgets, I have seen people burning out clutch plates or having trouble shifting, especially to neutral. But the first tip is golden. If your motorcycle doesn't have an adjustable clutch lever, get one and use this trick.
Amongst the two points covered in this video, how about the adjustable clutch levers? Efforts can come down too. I found quite a difference in city riding where clutch lever needs to be pulled every now and then.
A humble request , please make a video or even a short will do, about kabira mobility km3000 & km4000. I don't know why no mainstream automobile channel has done a video on it after its launch.
The channe FortNine made a video about Snell rating being meaningless apparently, it doesn't protect the rider in a crash compared to a helmet which is ECE certified the way Snell tests the helmets is not suited for bikers but rather for divers.Could you please make a video about it
Hey guys their is lot of confusion about motorcycle chain cleaning n lubricating , wd40 ,diesel, commercial cleaners what to use for chain cleaning and also after how many kms should we clean n lube.?
Nice video guys 👍 I agree with what you said. Moving the clutch lever fixation point inside the handle bar should also help other than moving hand to a non ergonomic position. But for the people who go offroad or the people who like to work the gear box will definitely appreciate the hydraulic setup over cable one as there is a lot less energy which is lost due to friction. I love my hydraulic setup and will definitely not go back to cable 🙂
Move your finger -agreed. Get longer levers at engine side- somehow if we increase length of lever at engine side. Then I guess clutch will travel less and will shift without full clutch engage ?
@@omkarnagarkar6660 the short one works on all bikes. You will need to use your thunderbird cable also. The only difference would be that the cable now would be long and you might need to reroute it. Most mechanics willl know what to do. Don’t worry.
I just transitioned from an SV650 (hydraulic clutch) to a Z900RS (cable clutch) and to be honest...it's been tricky getting used to it lol. Can anybody answer if it's normal to kinda feel the cables working / doing their job, when you pull in the clutch lever ?! lol. I know that sounds crazy but, I never felt that on my SV650. The Z900 is brand new by the way, 2022... Sometimes I just feel the cables, and it kinda bothers me lol.
Not worth to upgrade to hydraulic. I bought a kit for 12,000/- lasted for 11 months. The company replied after a year and says it is out of warranty. For commuting we use the clutch a lot, the pistons are not made for our use.
@Kumar Ankit the brand mostly isn’t at fault, it’s the Indian dealer who delayed it. The best idea is using cable with increasing leverages. As shumi said.
Hi shumi... I am a new biker out in the market for a good helmet under 10K. I have been suggested to go for MT BLADE 2. I would really like to know what u think about it and what are your suggestions on this. I also have other biking gear related questions. Helmet first.
Super nice...... hope ...few budding moto vloggers can have this amount of clearly n a human touch to there vlogs ...... mostly r robotic Reading specifications

There is already a episode in the same playlist please check it out
Let you later
Smaller front tyre : To reduce unsprung weight and for aerodynamics

This video could have also incorporated a small discussion on the "easy clutch" concept from Prospec... Would have been far more helpful.
Additionally cables are not very good while turning the lever pull is increased hydraulic makes it simpler but you shared 2 most important jugaad for making cable actuation lighter that really helps
excellent, crisp and clear content, no nonsense..
Thank you very much. Very informative. Been running that question in my mind and now I got the answer. Thanks again! 😊👍
Glad to hear that Alex! Happy riding! :D
Needless to say; smashing video as always!

Great point! You did miss out on a simple yet effective way to get great leverage, adjustable clutch levers. These are simple, reliable and helps get great clutch leverage.
Yeah, curious to know they actually work via Shumi
Adjustable levers change the span of the lever. Not the leverage.
@@shu_mar Can you please explain then, why there are notches provided in the levers so that it can move forward and backward, if not for leverage and reach, then what is it for, please.
@@vijayam1 it’s for reach. To control how far you have to *reach* with your fingers to get to and operate the lever. That’s all
Please take up about chain. Maintenance, when to adjust them , when to change them ,what options in after market for chain types etc
Simplified to da max Schumi!

Very clear and helpful explanation! Thanks.
The voice is always low compared to other videos on youtube, please rectify that :)
Content wise it's very good
Hi Shumi, Please explain details on Rev Matching. why it is so important
Informative video as usual. For sake of completeness could you explain how "easy clutch" systems work?
Please share your opinion on Speed v/s endurance in touring and also on carrying on the momentum during long distance travel
A humble request , please make a video or even a short will do, about kabira mobility km3000 & km4000. I don't know why no mainstream automobile channel has done a video on it after its launch.
This i have been thinking of asking from shumi to explain for a quite some time, and here he is. Thanks PD.
It was our pleasure Shivam!
@shumi You really are an expert...
Loved it. Thank you
Please do a drag race of Astor Manual and whatever competes with it
Please so a video on cng conversation kits and engine life

Hello sir..
Can you explain " Half clutch"
And the usage of it.
I am really concerned about this term.
Hi when are we getting your review on yezdi bikes
Should I pull the clutch all the way while shifting or use it half way through the clutch while shifting?
All we want to say is " Thank You".
Always happy to help, Lalit! Let us know if there's anything more that you'd like to simplify.
The channe FortNine made a video about Snell rating being meaningless apparently, it doesn't protect the rider in a crash compared to a helmet which is ECE certified the way Snell tests the helmets is not suited for bikers but rather for divers.Could you please make a video about it
Kuch bi
Pls make a video about windshields do we really need them for touring and stuff
Hey guys their is lot of confusion about motorcycle chain cleaning n lubricating , wd40 ,diesel, commercial cleaners what to use for chain cleaning and also after how many kms should we clean n lube.?
Some times simple is fabulously good like your explanation!👍👍👌👌👌
Make a Video on Brake Pads and Brake Fluids Which one would be good stock or the performance ones which cost 1000 or more
Can u make a video on what is engine knocking and does it affect ur engine
Schumi is the SME of motorcycles
Nice video guys 👍

Great series !
Thank you Vamsi!
What's the importance of replacing company fitted brake lever with radial brake pump?
I have one doubt do an hydrolic clutch also need to be adjusted or it will automatically adjusts its self?
Move your finger -agreed.
Get longer levers at engine side- somehow if we increase length of lever at engine side. Then I guess clutch will travel less and will shift without full clutch engage ?
That was helpful. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Do let us know what more you'd like to cover.
Excelent video. !
Why Royal Enfield used 18" wheels instead of 17" on twins when the 17" wheels are easily available in the market. Please do make this video
Where is the yezdi roadster review?
Can using pro spec clutch on Himalayan make it smoother without damaging the clutch assembly?
Have used this for a while now. It’s amazing. And with no problem on the assembly
@@Thegeekishnerd13 Thx for the info.Did use long or short one type?
@@akashjb3304 for the classic 350 I have the long one. For a modified project bike, I use the short one.
hey @@Thegeekishnerd13, can I use it on thunderbird-x ? and if so, which one should I get? the long or the short one?
@@omkarnagarkar6660 the short one works on all bikes. You will need to use your thunderbird cable also. The only difference would be that the cable now would be long and you might need to reroute it. Most mechanics willl know what to do. Don’t worry.
Now that's a Simplified 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Another Great Video that I requested few weeks ago. Thanks 😊😊
Welcome Abhit! Cheers!
The merchandise link in the description doesn't work. Do check it.
Components of exausts and how to make one ourselves
Can you do one on types of brakes
Sure. Anything specific you want to know?
I have hunter 350 and it has very tight clutch how can i ease the clutch effect???

Hydraulic clutch. Is there a reason to include subtle water sound in the background, throughout the video? 😅

Check thier podcast video on helmet, also check thier base layer video on Facebook page & riding pant video on thier Instagram.
Can you suggest best cnc in india
I installed hydraulic cluch in my bike but now cluch is more hard than before how do I soft it?.
Please discuss the suspension adjustment ...
We have! There’s a four part series online already
Make a Video on RCB breaks too its very expensive 8K or more than that
Helpful
Hi Shumi, please do a video on Handle Bar Ends (weights) why are they necessary than swapping it out with the "fancy LED lights" bar ends!
Great shumi 👌
Modifying hydraulic clutch is ligal or illigal
❤️❤️❤️ PowerDrift
Super nice...... hope ...few budding moto vloggers can have this amount of clearly n a human touch to there vlogs ...... mostly r robotic Reading specifications
As a mechanical engineer I wouldn't recommend to use longer lever at the bottom as it can sometimes mess up the gear shift quality
SimplifiPD system are best
Yay! You're the best too! :D
I have Simply increase my Hand Strength toDo😎 and Yes I ride Signals 350

Yezdi roadster review please....!
last comment 😊
🤣 🤣 🤣
Bwahahaha!
actually i'am first
but tired of first comments😂
Of course hydraulic is better. But the question is it worth the cost and at what cost.
Or how about slightly better at zero cost? ;)
Hydraulic is only better if money is not an issue.
