On the really high end electronic packages you can dial in the engine braking you desire. Most slipper clutches that come stock on the bikes are non adjustable. The slipper on my hypermotard kicks in all the time. You cannot get the rear end to step out at all no matter how clumsy one is with the clutch.
With that said, they are great for high speed work ala track but I feel they take away a useful tool in low speed situations.
I've never done moto gymkhana and I'm sure you're way better than I would be at it.
But what if you dragged the clutch coming into the corner? Using the engine braking to load of the front. Almost like trail braking? So no throttle just using the clutch to control front dive and initial bite?
