Clutching it is when you use the clutch to help bring up the front easier. When pulling in the clutch the engine revs up easier and when you release it there is an instant supply of power to the back wheel. hope that helped a bit.

ok this is what you do. Go out on your bike, get into 2nd gear and cruise at around 30mph.
Now pull in the clutch with your middle finger just enough so the clutch disengages. Rev the bike up to maybe 6,000 rpms. If it doesn't come up try again with a little more gas, just keep going higher in rpm's until it comes up.
Once you get the technique down and she starts to come up, then work on getting it high enough to ride em out.
Cover the rear brake just in case you go a little too high.

PS- when you let the clutch out let it out quick, but smooth.

does clutching on first gear hurt the clutch when doing wheelies.
