Lately have found myself changing gears without the clutch more often.
Seems ok if you are in the right rev range, but sometimes not so good.
Just wanted to ask those with more knowledge than me, is this ok? or is there a danger of doing damage when things go wrong?
Yeah, talking about normal shifting not full throttle. Mainly up shifting, taking off from the lights etc.
Abused a few paddock bashers without any dramas, but don't want to do any damage.
Clutchless upshifting on a Jappa is the norm , but I don,t do it on the Harley .
Wait a flamin minute , is that how ya did it on Sunday......... Fuggin Sporties..... Need an engine upgrade....
Yep, ride it like ya stole it!
Now I start it with a screwdriver as well
If you can change gears in 0.0010 sec, then yeah ya wouldn't bother
Cheers guys, good to know I'm not crazy (yet to be confirmed) just didn't want to fuck things up!
GT I always use the clutch riding normally. Dirt bikes, crotch rocket and the Harley. But if I am out and out draging (rare) the cluctch only gets used for launch and after the "run". Technique is a pesonal thing. Personally I flat change when racing.
