how do I avoid burning the clutch when I...

you'll know it if you see it,...
it's black cherry with blood red ground metal flames on the tank, (kinda like engraving) and a gold leafed "plaque" on the rear fender that says: "Peregrine Model 1911-A1" and a dylon thomas quote: "do not go gentle", followed by "old ugly"


it's kinda unmistakable

CA is the only state where lanesharing is tolerated (legal). No other state allows this regardless of the reason.

That being said, I split when I am on a bike outside the state. I haven't had any trouble yet.
 
"The riders themselves can overheat while seated on a hot bike with gear without air flow on a hundred degree day."

Another reason for lane sharing stated by my MSF instructor
 
All you have to do is let out the clutch slowly till you start feeling the bike move forwards a little bit. Also, the bike might start to stall. Once you know where the spot is, you can start giving a little gas to balance it out. That's all! Practice, master it, and if you can't do it, you need a AT motorcycle.

Try using the rear brake to hold the bike on the hill and use the clutch normally.

i live in SF and i have to travel up some big arse hills, when traffic moves more less fast uphill i just cruise slowly in first gear, but if it stop and go, i just use the rear brake.

You need to learn the point where the clutch really engages, like really the edge of engagement, then you don't slip it much.. anyways, that's my theory :))
