Clutches
[edit]"The foot-operated gear selector physically moves a gear with "dogs" to change gear engagement, the same as on a non-Hondamatic motorcycle transmission." This is a contradiction. A dog clutch is a clutch. The purpose of the dog is to lock the rotating gear to the shaft, that is what they are used for in all constant mesh gearboxes. A crash box that actually moves the gears doesn't require dogs because there is nothing to lock together. You can have a transmission where the gears slide slightly in order to engage the dogs, but the gears themselves remain together and are always meshed. 2600:1000:B11F:3287:0:38:F85C:D801 (talk) 03:41, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
