Clutchless Upshifting

And like I said I've seen people have trouble with them... my buddy was having a bitch of a time with his at the last track day... kept bouncing off the revlimiter like a missed shift.

That's truth! I had the Accumen set-up on my '03 GSXR. I didn't wire up the ignition kill but only used it for the gear indicator. That was a PITA,until I got it spot on perfect and it never gave me any more trouble.

Btw in the name of science,I shifted without the clutch today and it was fine. I know bikes have come along way since '95/'97 when I had problems with my FZR and YZF 1000s. I have to admit that it shifted very easily,especially down. In fact,I kept down shifting while I was attempting to "pre-load" the damn thing. I still think that I can shift just as fast either way but I guess it's nice to know the option is there if I want. That's what can be bad about being an "old dog",it can be hard to unlearn ingrained habits. Unless you had the gears undercut,you were looking for repair work if you didn't use the clutch back in the day.

I'm sorry young one but the council has decided that you are not ready to go beyond first gear just yet. We will explain "shifting" when we feel that you can handle the gear that you have so far been provided. Have patience and all things will come to you...

Realisticly you only need the clutch for starting off in 1st and for wheelies thats it bottom line

I dont either but its easier to control when I clutch it up in second rather than powering in first.
