it has to do with how much the clutch is slipping. think about how fast the clutch engages, if you let it drag your going to cause more wear.Quote:

Exactly if your riding it your burning it, same as how people blow out their clutch trying to do burnouts...Quote:

Not really, if you are doing it right. As long as the clutch is not slipping, it's not wearing. Doesn't matter if the engine is putting out power or taking up power (shut throttle), the clutch doesn't care.Quote:
