My stupid is about to come out but I need to know.


What exactly happens when you stall a bike?Not like, how it happens or anything- I know how that all works. I mean WHAT happens when you stall?Because let me tell you. I crashed my bike because I thought stalling my engine would mean that I seized at 35 and ended ass-over-handlbars. (Before you ask- yes I'm fine, yes the bike is worse for wear but fixable. It was a bad clutch.)I saw a video today where a guy stalled at 55 and nothing happened. He just coasted to a stop- didn't pull the clutch at all.And I'm dying inside.When I stall at lights- the engine stops. That's it- there's no movement in my engine and so the bike stays put. My logic came from the fact that trying to push a bike in gear without being in neutral means it ain't going nowhere.So when I was panicking at a right hand turn with no clutch, I laid the bitch down because I was so sure that slowing down meant stalling my bike and getting thrown.This was my understanding of how it works. Obviously I'd never stalled at higher speeds before- only ever in first gear. I've never been in a car that's stalled in anything but first gear. I had no reference.So what the fuck happens when you stall at a higher speed? Clearly I'm a dumbass that needs to be told and Google is failing me. via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/8fjget/my_stupid_is_about_to_come_out_but_i_need_to_know/?utm_source=ifttt
