I always use the clutch. It's a good habit. I had three transmissions repaired between a FZR1000 and a YZF1000,although I admit,I was trying to constantly do it from 1st to 2nd and was killing my shift-dogs and losing 2nd. I honestly don't see any reason not to clutch on the street. But if you're serious about not clutching,I'd get an ignition interrupter or quick shifter.

Tried it, didn't like it, never got the feel for it... do it sparringy.

I do it most of the time... I actually tend to get the false neutral less when clutchless shifting than with the clutch... :idk:

I clutchless upshift and down shift. IF they are done right it will not damage anything and it should be smoot as glass

I do it sometimes. It actually seems smoother on the 1125 than it did on my SV :idk:

every1 should be able to half ass do it in case a cable snaps or m/c goes out, so u can get home. other than that, its just a fun skill to have, great for the track

goin from 1st to 2nd is a skill in itself because of nuetral-once you can do that, the rest of em are cake

agreed dynce... I know a few big dog guys and custom cruisers do it after a cable snap... its all gravy as long as you don't stop!! When I had a clutch problem on my bike ealier I made it like 18 miles down a 45mph city road thru probably 22 lights... no stopping!! Luckily it was like 2300 at night!

haha yeah ppl always say its a good skill too have in case your clutch cable snaps... wtf do u do if you hit a red light? just kill your bike? then you're stuck :lol: unless u get some to push start u again :rofl:

I have a hydraulic clutch... :idk:

How do you clutchless downshift? What technique do you use? Only asking in case that's my only option.
