electronic clutch disengagement

seeing as bike clutches can be damaged if the car rolls backwards after a spin without dipping the clutch (just thinking aloud) would it be possible to create an electronic device to stop this as in F1's anti stall device? soon as it sees a backward movement it disengages? somehow?

If it was a real issue, someone would have made a kit up for it by now.... its not like you BEC boys don't have money to burn

Otherwise save yourself the trouble and push the pedal down

Where have you got that from? I don't think that's true.

What is true is that you can damage some starter motor sprag clutches and in some engines the starter motor can damage the crank if run backwards. You can get a kit for the busa that stops this happening.

As has already been pointed out, get the clutch in if you spin.

If you spin you should be "2 feet in" anyway.

I thought it was the starter motors that get damaged not the clutch? It would be possible BTW

The only difficult bit would be or the car to decide whether you're really going backwards or just decelerating. Negative G is negative G. It would sure be inconvenient to have the clutch being pressed everytime you decelerate

You'ld end up having to fit wheel speed sensors and do it that way.

sorry i didnt make it clear. Did mean the starter clutch could be damaged if allowed accidentally to turn backwards if your not quick enough.
