Only at 6000k colour then it will be white. Numbers smaller than 6000k, more yellow. Bigger than 6000k, more blue. At 12000k, it is purple!

it's normally caused by worn out clutch plates..

high engines revs with lower output..

some may experience bike moving even when clutch is depressed..

 

but it can also be caused by over used EO..

wheelie and improper changing of gears will cause premature wear and tear on clutch plates..

 

changing of clutch plates will solve the problem..

thanks for the pointers..

can i say the main issue here could be improper changing of gears?

i think you misunderstood me..

the clutch plates are wear and tear parts..

they eventually wear out and we gonna change it..

 

i'm just quoting that improper changing of gears might be one of the cause of the faster wear and tear of the clutch plates..

Normally clutch plates can last for quite a while.. say yearly change??

oh,i got you. just that in situation on faster wear and tear,the improper gear changing plays the bigger part rather than the over used EO?

 

wat do u mean by over used EO? is it prolong using the EO without changing?
