Clutchless Shifting

[maxim_X]

I think it's one of those things that you have to be comfortable with, then you will sware by it. I regularly up and downshift with no clutch and I show every one I ride with how nice it is if they don't do it. On the track though, with my limited experience, I use the clutch downshifting in most cases.

i havent found clutchless shifting necessary in the track yet, but im not fast enough for it to make any difference to me yet.
its not dragster. thats just my opinion

You also don't have a quick shifter,

I do it all the time (street). The only thing I use the clutch for is downshifting, starting/stopping, and sometimes if I'm just farting around. I'd say 80% of my upshifts are done without the clutch...

Get to enjoy the fun traffic yesterday?

I was actually on leave Monday through yesterday, so I was able to avoid the traffic

That's the exact response I was hoping to see! Thanks Stoneman!

rode 2 stroke dirtbikes for a long time and have to make a mental note to avoid the habit of keeping a finger or 2 on the clutch lever. though i don't fan it like i'm riding a 125 in the whoops.
