It's perfectly okay to ride and shift gears without using the clutch.bromz wrote: well ride home sucked. My clutch cable broke. went and got a trailer and abuddy helped me load it. It was a tilt trailer and before i could get the pin in my buddy walked off and off went the bike on its side and in the mud! I think all that broke was a highway peg. could have been worse
Getting started from a dead stop takes a little practice, but is easily learned.
Once had a clutch cable break en-route to the inspection station, but persevered on through as if nothing was wrong, passed with flying colors, and got my sticker! :lol:
Good Fortune!
