over run?
The 2009-2020 has a high capacity, high-performance engine with strong engine brake effect (some of that is addressed with the reflash). A slipper clutch was needed from the factory. It is a ramp-type slipper clutch, designed so that under strong back-torque (from wheel to engine), the clutch will start to slip. This is to help to prevent rear wheel blocking or jumping when shifting down and closing the throttle at high rpm, just like on Yamaha’s supersport bikes R1 and R6.
