I mostly don't use clutch to shift.. I
My friend says I'm gonna up F my bike.. I say nonsense..

I only upshift.
Not down shift acuz I always rev match so I've never tried.

 

It's your bike. Do what you want.

 

Why don't you down shift?

 

I said why, what more i can say?

 

I use it. I'd guess being able to do without is handy in a clutch problem situation, but I can't see it being good for the bike in the long run. or at least not as good.

 

Winter is over here.

Hope it get's to everyone else soon.

 

You just said because you never tried, I was curious if there was more to it. I have never tried clutchless up or down. Probably because I am to chicken to stall out and wreck.

 

Oh, ok fair enuf... When is time to up shift, i l just barely lay my heel on the lever and let off throttle. It shifts on its own as if I used clutch.. It's easy, fast.. Believe it or no, easier on the bike.. I didn't invent the technique..
Downshifting is different acuz I rev match so it's not the same thing,,, maybe it is,, I've never tried.. For the reasons I said

 

Thanks. I'm going to give the up shift a try.

 

What advantage is it to not use the clutch?
Its there for a reason.
You will see junk in your trans fluid.
