guaranteed to lose your clutch if u do what he did

I remember a 2020 owner lost his clutch recently. He had to pay for it himself as Triumph refused warranty on it.

Wasn't he doing something that the bike manual specifically says to NOT do? I think so.

Remind us what he did to lose the clutch.

Remind us what he did to lose the clutch.

trying to spin up the rear wheel whilst holding in the front brake...with a linked braking system and traction control
not just the new rocket that would have this issue...any bike that has linked braking system would do the same.

Do the 2020 Rockets have linked brakes? Where would one read about this? I didn't see it in specs.
