I find myself riding the clutch a lot when in first gear under 10 mph, is this normal, or am I developing a bad habit?

Motorcycles use a wet sump clutch, that is to say they sit in a bath of oil, your engine oil to be precise, and except for a few Ducati's and some other high end bikes most motorcycles use a wet sump clutch, where as most cars use a dry sump clutch. If “Ridden” dry sump clutches are far more likely to burn up than wet sump clutches; however, the less your clutch is “ridden” the longer it will last. Simply use it as it was intended, that is to get the bike moving from a stopped position and to up-shift and down-shift and in a lot bikes you don’t need it then. Why are you “ridding” the clutch at 10mph is this in stop and go traffic?
