Suicide clutch needs the foot to depress the pedal to keep clutch out like a car.  Normally there is no heel rest.  I use the floorboard.  When I built my Recon (reconstructed motorcycle), I originally ran the bike with a belt drive and suicide clutch.  Not too much modulation on the pedal.  Because  of the hole shots I was doing, I wanted to put on a rock & roll pedal on it.  The rock & roll clutch pedal has a heel rest and you could lock the clutch out.

This is helpful coming down to a stop.  You can lock the clutch out then shift into neutral.  I originally had a rock & roll pedal on.  I wanted the option of electric start.  I traded the the belt drive and put on stock cases with the starter motor and primary chain.  I could only use the suicide clutch pedal but I could put floorboards on.  The side cases and the floorboards make the bike wider.  Great for leaving sparks when doing tight turns.  When coming to a stop you have to shift into neutral before coming to a complete stop.  You'll fall over if you don't or kill the engine.  Not fun with traffic behind you and the electric start doesn't work.  Kick-start only.

At this point, you have to go thru the starting drill for a hot engine.  :tongue:
