Shifting w/out Clutch

[JaLacy93]

I've tried clutchless shifting up the gears the other day on my 1198s, it seemed natural and smooth. As long as its done right, I don't think you can damage the gearbox

Ive done this before, but IMO, it's there for a reason. I've owned dirt bikes without clutch lever's. If there's a clutch there, I'll use it.

how to do it right?

 

[Laugh It Off =)]

how do you blip on downshifts without clutch? there's always a load

Pretty sure he was talking about pulling the clutch lever in, knocking down a gear, bliping the throttle to match the lower gear's RPM and then letting the clutch lever out. When I first tried it, it seemed odd and cumbersome but by the end of the ride I was matching gears and RPM with ease.
