I was going at about 30mph in moderate traffic on my motorcycle, and had to use the friction zone on the clutch a lot. Occasionally, when I disengage the clutch all the way, and also close the throttle (To not give the motorcycle any additional gas), the engine will cut off and die completed. Usually, with clutch disengaged and gas off, it would idle at 1500rpm and the motorcycle would continue to roll.
