If your bike's engine braking does not match the gear the bike is in, there is a danger of the rear wheel locking up. This can be prevented by replacing your normal clutch with a specialised slipper clutch, designed to counteract engine braking when a motorcycle is rapidly decelerating. Most new sports bikes are now fitted with these clutches as standard and it's easy to equip an older bike with an aftermarket slipper clutch.

So what are you waiting for? Call 0800 062 6702 for a quote today.
IMPORTANT: In order for you to take out a policy, we need to make sure that all your modifications are CE approved (look out for a label that says CE) and kite-marked (that's the little double-scoop ice cream logo on your helmet). This means that they're legal for UK road use – some replacement features such as indicators and exhaust systems may not fulfil these standards. If you would like to discuss your modifications with a Swinton Bikes expert, please get in touch on 0800 092 6702 (open 9am-8pm Mon-Fri, 9am-5.30pm Sat, 10am-4pm Sun).
