    Greetings,
    What's the best way to use the slipper clutch? Bearing in mind my other bike is a '93 SS I'm used to blipping the throttle to get a decent down change and have on all bikes since I started riding, the slipper fitted to my 2011 Blade is a first to me, blip or not?
    Cheers Mike

    It's still good practice to blip. Learn to modulate the clutch on the point of slip though, and you can improve rear traction under heavy braking.

    Blaggers & Bongo. What a double act.

    Old Bongo there telling us the righteous word and Blags speaking for us all.

    +1 on that. Seen them on HPS & would have bought one, if the Blade had a fly-by-wire
