correct, I don't chop throttle, granted I'm not racing, but I have over 100k on my SV, I haven't damaged anything yet inless your talking about wearing out shift linkage, I did have to replace the linkage parts at about 90k, as well as clutch perch, lever & cable, but I think I woulda had to do that no matter what method of shifting I use, I replaced my original clutch springs and fibres @ 102k, still have the original steelsOriginally posted by 35racer
Are you saying to not roll off the throttle when you "tap" the clutch?
Basically, if you pre-load the shifter, it will snick into the next higher gear when you give the throttle a quick chop... regardless of what you do with the clutch.
NOTE: if you are saying to not let up on the gas at all... then I say that's another recipe for damaging/wearing parts. I used to shift that way my first year of racing.
I use this method for upshifting and for downshifting for more power, when I am downshifting for braking, I pull clutch completley in, I do not blip throttle, (keep it cracked a bit so it's off idle) and slip clutch to smooth the shift
