what is preferable for stunting?

what do most guys have?

whats the pros and cons of each?

i ask these newbie questions cause my new engine already had the manual clutch installed, but i'd switch it back to auto if its preferable. i ride mx and am new to the stunting deal.

thanks guys.

Its all about what you are comfortable with. I like auto clutch for the 50. Just what I am used to.

Manuel is nice for coasters and touch and go's

Auto clutch.

I tried a manual clutch, makes it easier to clutch up from a dead stop and allows you to pull the clutch in to keep from stalling/auto clutch disengaging. You will have 2 levers on the left bar. I stunted big bikes with a dual caliper handbrake, so I was used to it. To each your own.

I personally am keeping the auto clutch until it craps out then buying a manual set up.

+1 for fat tire. I am getting used to my auto clutch w/BBR springs.

My vote goes to the Auto clutch, especially if you're just starting. Its one less thing you'll have to think about.

+1 for starting out on a auto clutch, definatly easier. But if you learn with the manual, you'll be that much better.

Auto clutch definitly takes majority being that the bikes come stock with them, but their's also a handful of people killing it with manual clutches (Prickster and a retiree LTW come to mind).

oh snap, oh snap, oh snap. LT dub got called out.

We will see if lil Willie will be able to kill it with a manual clutch

if for wat yu want to do cluch but if your not someone who likes to keep on shifting use a an automatic.NOTE:you will get use to the cluch in less than an our.

Thanks for those kind words, don't know about LTW... The manual vs auto debate. I have run a 125 motor both manual and auto. I like manual better for the fact you can cut the drive to the rear at any time, but you have to learn how to use 2 levers instead of one, which takes time to learn and setup. What is better is safety during rolling burnouts, super easy touch and goes, coasters, and don't forget clutching it up... It is up to the rider what they like more, what might be good for one, might not be good for others. But start off with the auto first, then if you want, go manual...
