I'm looking for technical opinions. As this is my first thread I thought I'd bring out the best.
I have always shifted my metric junk up and down through the gears without the clutch.
I think I need to know what the downside is for doing this with my new to me Scoot. The only times I have done this so far is when the rpm's are really low coming back down. Up doesn't seem to be any problem as long as all the juices are warm.
Thanks! Bob

 

Uuhhhhhh???????? Wtf?

 

It's got a clutch...so I use it...just sayin'

 

Yip, these are the responses i thought this one would get..

 

These aint dirt bikes were riding here and they weigh more than the metrics too. I have a clutch too and I use it.

 

Nope, don't do it. My left hand would get bored.

 

I've done it by accident once or twice, but don't make a habit of it. that's why the clutch is there.

 

The stuff is gettin deep around here a 20.000 plus motorcycle and wondering wether or not to use the clutch.What's next a thread on how to activate Autopilot??!!

 

I used to do it all the time on my '04 Kawi Z1000, it didn't hurt anything...I don't do it on my Street Bob cuz I don't need to shift as fast.

 

Metric gears are made of rubber, Harley is made of real steel. figure out the diff???
