I know how to do that during clutchless upshifting, but didn't know if down was different.

I was answering T-rock's question... idk about downshifts havent tried it.

Either this thread has been done before or it was on one of the other forums... Now I know that Rossi ,Pedrosa,et al are gods but whenever you see camera shots of their hands,they always clutch when they shift. Plus,I still don't understand why you wouldn't want to use the clutch. I mean if you have to roll off the throttle anyway,what do you gain? Please explain...

Ha I was right ! This same discussion is going on on TWO other forums I belong to! That's interesting.....kinda....

They clutch when downshifting, not upshifting though.

Hmmm... you're probably right. I bet they have ignition kill tech on their bikes for sure.

They do. The quick-shifter is trickle-down tech from them.
