aight, i'm a little more familiar w/ bike tranny's now & understand clutchless upshifting etc, but i just had some guy give me some sarcastic bullshit cuz i said that you should always use the clutch when downshifting & he said you don't have to....
the least he could do is proofreadYup, you're wrong about that. My trnny is just fine. Better go tell Will Eikenberry, too, he's only the absolute track record holder at SOW, and after the grid start, doesn't touch the clutch for the entire remainder of the race. And maybe let Code in on this too....this will come as news to him also...
You see, while it may SEEM inperative from your perspective, things aren't alwaus what they seem.
so.... is he right? cuz everyone i talked to at track days etc has told me clutchless upshifts are just fine, but always use the clutch for downshifts.
personally, i'd think that unless you were crazy fuckin good at it, you shouldn't be doin that in a braking zone goin into a corner as it's just one more thing that'll disrupt the balance of your bike as it momentarily drags the tire, which it's done the few times i've tried it.
so what's the deal? edjumakate me
