In that video it looks like you have to be squeezing the clutch the entire time the engine is running when in automatic mode. If true, what a stupid idea, talk about crampin the hand.

On the dual clutch version of the bike there is no manual clutch that you pull. Its completely and automatic with electronics to shift. The bike comes with a standard clutch or a dual clutch, not both.
