Do you trailbrake the same amount with and without a slipper clutch?


Hopefully someone can help clear this up for me:My bike still has the stock clutch so engine braking is present when Im out on the track. One of the things id like to work on my next session is my Trailbraking. While thinking about the whole process, I raised a question I didnt know the answer to.From my own research, I know your supposed to brake all the way to the apex, exchanging braking force for lean angle. But if you install a slipper clutch on your motorcycle, would you have to brake a little more when you trail brake to compensate for the drag created by the engine braking during normal operation with the stock clutch?So basically with a stock clutch during trailbraking you have engine braking + front brake. (As long as both wheels are on the ground right? ) Then, with a slipper clutch, you have no engine braking, only front brake. Do you need to trailbrake harder with a slipper clutch? Should I still try and brake all the way to the apex with a stock clutch? Thank you and sorry if this confused the heck out of anybody. via /r/Trackdays https://www.reddit.com/r/Trackdays/comments/8emc3x/do_you_trailbrake_the_same_amount_with_and/?utm_source=ifttt
