The idea is to pull in the clutch, shift quickly, and let the clutch back out quickly.
You don't want to be slipping the clutch (riding with the throttle on and the clutch pulled in part way) because this will cause it to wear out before it's time........pg

I'man MSF instructor here in Texas and in the beginning stages of the class, we workon clutch control and easing the clutch into thefriction zone when starting out. Once the bike is rolling, it is just like the previous posters have said.If the bike is revving up to high RPM's durin upshifting, youneed to roll off the throttle sooner. On downshifts, it is a good idea to blip the throttle slightly to match engine speed with road speed.If you think about it, whenwe firstdrive astandard shift car,we eventually learn how to shift up and shift down smoothly. It just takes practice. Keep it simple and don't think about it too much. You'll be fine.
