I'm not sure I've never ridden a bike

Rip in pieces clutch

honestly without memeing me is it even doing that much more wear on the clutch? You still have to clutch from first to 2nd so whats the difference

I cannot make myself use first for anything but my steep driveway

yes you moron it's constant extra torque being sent to the clutch

A 500 should be capping out at at least 20-30 so something is either wrong with your bike or you're the problem. And yes, it'll wear your clutch faster than usual cause it'll start to slip from the torque needed to ride in second that usually comes from an already moving bike and will stall out more easily when pulling out from a stop.

How much does a clutch replacement cost? Trying to weigh my options here

OP just likes to go 0-60 from every stop without having to shift gears halfway through. Fuck it dude, live your dreams, clutches don't cost that much.

clutch = money
learning to drive like a normal fucking person = free

>my dream is to destroy my bike and not be able to ride properly

Clutches wear out either way buddy, whats a little extra wear going to matter in the long run

hardly destroying a bike

I would just appreciate non hysterical responses

Can you rephrase the question but in the sense of buses? You may get better answers

>>17617820
I dont know how to drive a manual car either :(

I'm not sure about bikes, but a lot of trucks start out in second gear. First is usually just a granny gear, unless you are driving a low power shitbox with a tiny clutch.
