Dude honestly whatever you do please do not ever stop making videos like these. I have seen so many people, moto vloggers etc. sitting on their bikes with GoPros on doing mystical hand gestures and also people who have actually taken the hardware apart trying to explain how a motorcycle clutch really works but honestly speaking it was only until today that I know what the term 'Wet Multiplate' actually means in my bike's specifications. Thank You so damn much. Love from India!
Hey i am 55 years old and usually for. Me its easiest to understand mechanical things bu physically looking at it or by. Reading a shop manual with good illustrations ive been riding and fixing. My own motorcycles since i was a kid and despite knowing what a motorcycle clutch pack looks like I really didnt understand how it worked so. I watched your video and learned pretty easily I’m not sure if it was your simplified explanation or the tone of your voice but i do again want to mention usually a video isnt as easy for me to understand something mechanical as easy as. Your video did. So i just wanted to say thanks and i hope you do continue to make similar videos in the future at the moment i am not riding a motorcycle due to a Traumatic Brain injury ( non motorcycle related) that caused. Some paralysis. In my right hand/arm , and left leg that would affect my clutching and shifting i turned to TH-cam to see. What might be my options as far as making a bike a auto or semiautomatic transmission as i remember. I had a early 1970s Honda Minibike set u that way and ironically the motorcycle i actually. Do own at this time is a older Honda with a similar engine that was my Fathers that he bought and put into inside storage in the early 60s so ive been trying to learn as much as i can on the basics as i found out Honda did make a Semi Automatic clutch pack for those old Monkey bikes but the case is a little different than mine so it wont fit if i want to maintain the factory look on mine which i do ! Just For giggles i thought that would be the route keeping in mind it is only a 90cc motor and would never really be. A touring. Bike for the highways and may Be for local shows and possibly parades ? Because it was my Dads i just want to have fun with it

This channel is one of the few major publication channels I follow and actually enjoy. You do a great job of explaining while not showing any obvious bias. Cheers!
When my kid asks how motorcycle parts work I just pull up your videos and let you explain. Thanks for doing such a great job, keeping it simple without all the extra BS.
This is the most straight forward, concise and clear video I've ever seen about what a clutch is and how it works. I've always known about the components but not what they do and why. thank you thank you thank you
I really like these mechanical videos explaining different parts on bikes prob one of my favorite things on bikes on youtube full stop. short and clear and concise information. teaches me alot and gives me confidence to work on parts I thought where alot harder than they really are . brilliant series guys keep it up
Motorcyclist Magazine is awesome! You may not have the largest fanbase especially compared to some pretty clueless motovloggers, but the content is legit and you have a real fan base. Quality over quantity...I came here today and there were more than 1,000 likes and not a single dislike.
I think I *FINALLY* understand how a motorcycle clutch works! It's especially funny because I left my clutch exposed on my Ducati 748 (arrogantly thinking I looked cooler) and made a stupid mistake when I was learning the bike, ending in my clutch in pieces across the asphalt. Not pretty. But the worst part is, I had NO idea what all those parts were for, and so had to shell $$$ I didn't have to get it fixed by an expensive dealership. Now I understand what all the springs were doing, and I've learned my lesson on many levels XD
I love these videos. The presentation and the production value are great and they're the correct amount of time. Keep up the good work! Might have to resub to the magazine because of these...
There's no better way to appreciate your bike (apart from riding it) than to understand how it works. This was another great video. I subscribed to the paper magazine to see if this way of doing things transpires to the printed words. In eight weeks' time I'll know.
Just started watching you videos. They are fantastic. Straight forward and get to the point. I just used your info on tire changing. Was a lot easier than the last time I changed my tire. Have a lot more videos yet to watch. Maybe one day you will have one on carb sync. Thanks again
Stiffer clutch springs do result in a heavier clutch lever, but the upside is zero slippage and all the engine drive is being transmitted to the rear wheel for max power. So if your OEM springs are too soft, upgrade them to a stiffer version and enjoy the difference. I did and I LOVE it.
Hi, thank you guys for the great MC garage series! There seems to be a lot of confusion on the internet about adjusting the clutch engagement point and whether or not this is possible. I suspect a similar informative video could solve a myriad of internet discussions! thank you anyways!
jeez, just realized that even though i am subscribed - i am not getting your videos in my feed. I have been trying to catch up tonight on all the ones i missed. Great video!
A lot of riders swap out their flashers which more often than not means going from bulbs to led's and messes with you flash rate. How about a vid showing how to remedy that by swapping out the relay or adding some resistors? Awesome vids guys! Keep up the good work!
Great videos as always, I would like to suggest a video about "spark plugs' and maybe how to interpret what they look like in various conditions. And also changing your front/rear sprockets, and how that effects your bike performance.
Thank you, Ari. This sorta explains why, when idling in neutral, there seems to be more clutch related noise. I presume it is the outer basket spinning and the disengaged inner ring & pressure plates are free to loosely spin and rattle around. (I'm doing my best to sound intelligent but haven't a clue what I'm saying)
I am so impressed at your videos. Clear, concise and packed full of information which is easy to follow. Thank you for your videos, I have subscribed and hope to improve my own channel by learning from your style.
Hey Ari, you look to have lost some weight. Hope ya health is good. As always, very good explanation to make complex things understand with ease. Keep it coming.
Really enjoy your tech videos, how about replacing fork springs? Not really regular maintenance, but for those with older bikes or shoddy suspension it might be a nice one :) edit: you guys are way ahead of me, I see you already have a forks vid!
Well, i have been watching all your videos and they are quite informative. I would like you to work on a video regarding the disc size and the impact on braking due to large disc and small disc.
Hi @Motorcyclist Magazine I'm a newbie in Motorcycle world and I learn a lot on this channel ,, Please create a video about spark plugs,, i have an R3 and they say that if i changed my SparkPlug to iridium i need to adjust the setting of my ECU.. Please create a guide or tips or tricks about spark plugs :D thanks in advance!!!
I'm hoping that you will explain on your next video on how semi-automatic clutch work , is there any differences between manual and semi-automatic? or they doing the same thing to run the engine? Thanks...
Hey Ari,Can you guys do a video on adjusting a clutch cable and lever, especially after a fresh clutch swap? I have to swap the clutch in my bike and I'm worried that the lever and cable are going to be completely out of adjustment when I'm finished.Thanks, and I Love the videos!

Ari Henning In all it's glory yes, Thank-you for replying and wishing you utmost success, will share and sub for sure :)
Couldn't agree more. I understand everything and I'm a total beginner on bikes and English is my second language. I instantly subscribed :)
I agree Ronnie. Ari has a lot of great technical knowledge and is excellent at explaining it.
This video is so straightforward and clear, even a Harley owner could understand.
Now, to make a video to help them understand wearing gear. A helmet at the very least.
I did, I did understand.. I think

Wow. This channel is amazing. Straight to the point and no BS. I've learned so much in less than 5 minutes.

Thanks for doing such a great job, keeping it simple without all the extra BS.
The way you explained is so intuitional compared to so many other explanation videos using diagrams!
This is the most straight forward, concise and clear video I've ever seen about what a clutch is and how it works. I've always known about the components but not what they do and why. thank you thank you thank you
Always wanted to see how it works visually, thanks MC Garage! I know how it works, but haven't seen one!
Short but crystal clear explanation of how clutch works. Great work bro.
I do not comment often on youtube videos. but i just wanted to let you know that you are awesome...Thank you.

This is turning out to be a really informative series.
You give the best explanation of the workings of this clutch,thank you
would love to see a video on multi stage lock up clutches, but these videos are excellent and extremely informative.
I think I *FINALLY* understand how a motorcycle clutch works!

Best motorcycle channel on youtube... by a longshot!
I love these videos. The presentation and the production value are great and they're the correct amount of time. Keep up the good work! Might have to resub to the magazine because of these...
There's no better way to appreciate your bike (apart from riding it) than to understand how it works. This was another great video.

***** Thanks.
This turned out to be a great series! We need more MC Garage!!!
Fantastic breakdown on how it all works. Extra bonus points for bringing up the BMW and Guzzi design.
Just started watching you videos. They are fantastic. Straight forward and get to the point. I just used your info on tire changing. Was a lot easier than the last time I changed my tire. Have a lot more videos yet to watch. Maybe one day you will have one on carb sync. Thanks again
Best motorcycle informational channel on TH-cam, keep it up !
You guys are awesome. And best of all, you don't pressure your viewers to sign up for some nonsense premium youtube channel.
This channel has little room for improvement. Because it's already awesomely awesome.

Excellent tutorial - the best video on clutch talks!
Explained clearly and concisely. I now get it.. Many thanks
that was just fantastic. I have been curious about bike clutches and this one just cleared it out.
thanks Ari and the MC crew!
i think the short concise videos are great
Hi, thank you guys for the great MC garage series! There seems to be a lot of confusion on the internet about adjusting the clutch engagement point and whether or not this is possible. I suspect a similar informative video could solve a myriad of internet discussions!
thank you anyways!
Brilliant-simple language-perfect amount of information.
Your videos are freaking awesome!! I mean the visualization of the thing that you explain works for me!
Keep up the good work!
jeez, just realized that even though i am subscribed - i am not getting your videos in my feed. I have been trying to catch up tonight on all the ones i missed. Great video!
Awesome friggin video. I respect this guys ability to teach
Great Vid, you can talk about the primary drive, since you are at the clutch. You can discuss chain, belt and geared primary drive systems.
love these videos. can't stop watching them. just bought a bike and wow these have been informative. keep em comin.
Another great vid, Ari! Simple concept, but until you know....you just don't know!!
A lot of riders swap out their flashers which more often than not means going from bulbs to led's and messes with you flash rate. How about a vid showing how to remedy that by swapping out the relay or adding some resistors? Awesome vids guys! Keep up the good work!
This whole series is great: clear and concise, and very informative.
Thank you for the video. I was not able to understand the clutch system before but now I got it.
Keep making these videos, you are going to give me the motivation to build my own motorcycle.
Great videos as always, I would like to suggest a video about "spark plugs' and maybe how to interpret what they look like in various conditions. And also changing your front/rear sprockets, and how that effects your bike performance.
Love the videos and channel, don't stop making these videos! Clutches make SO much more sense to me now!
Genius design. Cool to finally see how it all works
Thank you, Ari. This sorta explains why, when idling in neutral, there seems to be more clutch related noise. I presume it is the outer basket spinning and the disengaged inner ring & pressure plates are free to loosely spin and rattle around. (I'm doing my best to sound intelligent but haven't a clue what I'm saying)
Great video. Straightforward, simple, clear. Now I finally know how clutch mechanism works ;) Thx.
With this haircut, you look like Michael Schumacher 😀. Thanks for taking the time to explain the clutch.
I'm looking forward to the slipper clutch video!! :D
All my doubts have been cleared. Straight forward video. Thank you guy.👍 Love from India 😀
Nice description of how a clutch works. Thanks.
Best moto channel on TH-cam!

Great video! Best explanation of an MC clutch I've ever seen! Thanks!
I was just wandering today how clutch works, timing couldn't be any better!
good one! and you touched up on the energy conserving thing too! I made that mistake once. hehe. ten miles later, I was changing the oil again.
Great work guys! Awesome video! The KTM is looking sweet! When will we get to see some race videos?
Great explanation - please keep up these vids they're awesome
spot on video, short and simple as always! good video to watch for clutch basics!
Great videos from this guy, simple to understand and detailed. :)
I’d vote u for present. Great theory n practical. I understand now.
Ari, can you also explain the advantages and the disadvantages (if there is any) of a slipper clutch? How exactly do they work?
Thanks Ari! MC Garage is so awesome and I am definitely learning a lot!
Hey Ari, you look to have lost some weight. Hope ya health is good. As always, very good explanation to make complex things understand with ease. Keep it coming.
i wish you speedy recovery and back to some bumble swinging action.
Yes, slipper clutch video would be great. Explanation and how to replace. And if you want to use your Tuono to demonstrate... even better.
awesome work, love the videos. can you guys make one on winter storage more specifically when it comes to tires.
Always a pleasure to watch you video's. Thanks MC' Garage!
Best video explanation so far. Thanks man
as always another detailed and very informative video. love your work MC Garage.
Cheers
Really enjoy your tech videos, how about replacing fork springs? Not really regular maintenance, but for those with older bikes or shoddy suspension it might be a nice one :)
edit: you guys are way ahead of me, I see you already have a forks vid!
Your videos are very helpful! Great channel!
Excellent. Simply excellent. Thank you.
My Yamaha FJR has a Slip&Assist clutch. I have no idea what that means so your next video about that subject will be great.
Nice, Clear, and easy. Awesome!!!
Well, i have been watching all your videos and they are quite informative. I would like you to work on a video regarding the disc size and the impact on braking due to large disc and small disc.
Very informative and concise, thank you!
Hi @Motorcyclist Magazine I'm a newbie in Motorcycle world and I learn a lot on this channel ,, Please create a video about spark plugs,, i have an R3 and they say that if i changed my SparkPlug to iridium i need to adjust the setting of my ECU.. Please create a guide or tips or tricks about spark plugs :D thanks in advance!!!
Nice video... I like the way you explain the things.👍👍
can you make a video on gear shifting mechanism and disk brake trouble shooting. thanks!!!
Great knowledge.. following you to know everything about my motorcycle.
Exceptional tutorial, subscribed!
Great work, Motorcyclist Magazine.
Whatcha know about IMUs? Any shot you're cooking up a video on that?!
Thank you for this video, very informative. Keep 'em coming!
You just missed how the clutch lever actuates the pressure plate. Despite, really nice video, keep the good job!
Really good video! Would love to see a video about the transmission, but maybe that's too much work?
I'm hoping that you will explain on your next video on how semi-automatic clutch work , is there any differences between manual and semi-automatic? or they doing the same thing to run the engine? Thanks...
It videos are great buddy😀very informative & concise👌👍
Hey Ari,Can you guys do a video on adjusting a clutch cable and lever, especially after a fresh clutch swap? I have to swap the clutch in my bike and I'm worried that the lever and cable are going to be completely out of adjustment when I'm finished.Thanks, and I Love the videos!
Awesome explanation as always Ari, thanks mate.
Thanks for the insight Ari, keep it up! 👍🏻👍🏻
That was brilliant mate.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Exactly what I was looking for thanks
