Clutch Should you pull in the clutch when going downhill?

[DAMIEN1307]

Yes, pull in the clutch. 2 strokes don't do well with prolonged engine braking as the motor is being made to turn high RPM, but there is very little fuel, and thus oil, going into the engine.

I'd say on a small bike engine to disengage the clutch

This would be correct as far as two stroke motors are concerned.

 

[DAMIEN1307]

I wouldn't know the answer to this question because I have a bt80, the bt80 is a centrifugal clutch.

I'd say on a small bike engine to disengage the clutch, but in a car or truck I wouldn't stress it.

Yeah, but it's the end of the school year. I'm supposed to be in math right now, but I'm not taking the final because I didn't pay for the college credit, and only the students taking the college credit as well need to take the final, so I left.

 

[DAMIEN1307]

I didn't pay for the college credit

"Pay" for the college credit???...Never heard of such a thing...I never "Paid" for college credits while still in High School for any reason and aced my finals then went to college.

Yeah, it's kinda dumb, but they reimburse students that pay for it if they pass.

Pretty much. Alot of kids pay for it and don't pass. The teacher isn't even payed by the college, so I don't know why they do it

They have done that with AP classes for a long time. The credit carries over and you can skip that course in college
