MXTV Rider Tip - Race changes

[mrx495]

You could just get quickshifter, its way better imagine 125cc 2 stroke going 1 2 3 4 5 6 in no time full throtle...

[yztrt]

I use this technique to keep momentum up when coming out of a turn going up a hill etc it works very well and is so fun when you get it perfect

[TheTuntso]

i don't even use cluth when changing gears

[SCORPION5O]

@TheTuntso it is ok to do that chanign up but dotn do it changing down it mess's up your gears long term i did that and learned th hard way.

[TheTuntso]

@SCORPION5O haha. i know, my friend broke his transmission when changing down without clutch. and i usually change without clutch from 3rd all the way to 6th

[KawasakiRider91]

Will this work the same way on a 2 stroke? The reason a 4 stroke could feel "jerky" when u let go of the gas to shift is because of the engine brake, a 2 stroke don't have the same engine brake. I don't wanna fuck up my engine

[snoopy12370]

@KawasakiRider91 u only got to use the clutch on a 2 stroke to start and stop

[KawasakiRider91]

@snoopy12370 yea but i was thinkin about the thing about not letting go of the gas. I don't use clutch while shifting but i do let go off the gas

[Mx15Mx]

@snoopy12370 Dont give advice unless you actually know what your talking about

[yztrt]

@KawasakiRider91 Even better for a 2 stroke because it keeps it in the powerband, it's good for the bike

[shadowofcalistis]

Wow I would have thought its bad for your bike, but when you think about it you're under lots of torque when upshifting anyway and its probably easier to get a perfect shift if you have a constant throttle. About holding throttle wide open to do this, race bikes and full throttle hmmm...Ive never ever had to full throttle a race bike. On my sxf half throttle is enough to wheelie in first few gears.

[TeoZMuff313]

Hold wide open and do this, not half trottle, thats too slow on most bikes

[BillyStevenson1]

if i dont get the change intime with the clutch will it stuff up my bike

[motocross8487]

@BillyStevenson1 if you still have your bike at a high enough rpm it will still just go into the gear without using the clutch

[BillyStevenson1]

thanks this helped me a lot!!

[kep67]

what about downshifts?

[mrHansen122]

@kep67 mate ur SLOWING DOWN . u dont pin it while ur changing down gears lol thats a good way to boil ur brake fluid

[yz125man12321]

haha i never knew this, thanks alot, now i'll become much faster!!!

[TeoZMuff313]

its easier with a hydraulic clutch lever

[icool247]

to me, its hard and it feels weird

[dariocrr2trider]

i tried this, and its so much fun to do, its the same as powershifting, really fun and you can pull smoth wheelies

[punkenduro]

i dont even use the clutch unless im going into a corner or going down into first.

[jonathanb014]

same here i dont use clutch and ive got a 125 i just use it in 1st and goin into corners flat out

[bennybfmr]

mate i work on mx bikes evryday and i have never seen a reckd tranny in a mx bike. they are indistructable. i shift full throttle without evn the clutch and its still all good

[57vgh]

this wont damage for all the people who say they do but i would let off a little and not have the thing wide open but i have a question i have truble shifting when i stand up and going through the speed bumps and all that cuz i want to hold my speed without have to downshift or bog down

[jangoreo]

No damage to Clutch ?? Really ? NO !!!

At least when Your Cutches are free and you get one Every Race.

Roll the Throttle Off a 1/4 And Hammer Down. Gives your clutch/Trans a Non Load Moment and is Perfect to Shift at that time.

[3irishpride]

crunch boxxx

[fastandyc]

been changin gears for years without dabbin the cutch,just keep her pinned and notch another gear!

as long as you dont miss a gear your fine!

[bob22338]

@fastandyc Mate that gearbox would b absoulutly rooted there must b some noises or a small crunch when u change it would not b smooth unless u have a crunch box

[willzzz724]

when i shift i use the clutch fully compressing the lever and let off the gas completely

you can shift at full throttle with no clutch but thats only if you have $1800 for a new tranny

[ruoho5]

wtf??? i your shifting like that it tells that you cant ride fast. and it dosent even damage the bike if your not leting of the gas. i have been racing my ktm 190h and no problems whit clutch or gear box

[bob22338]

But do have a crunch racing box in the bike?????

[rtljmc]

dont talk about shit u dont no man

it wont ruin the tranny its a motocross bike not a toy bike it can take it

[BrEnDaN969]

what bike is that

[bob22338]

looks like a cr250f or cr450f

[Filipe0333]

its a 450

[mickrx]

you dont need to use the clutch to change gears hold it wide open and just select

[Filipe0333]

that messes up the transmission, you have to know exctly when to change gears without using the clutch, I can almost guarentee pretty soon youll need a new tranny...

[fmxaustralian]

i still dont get it?

can you explain like, clutch or no clutch when changing?

[looovestospooge]

ya need to slip the clutch when u change up gear so u can stay on the gas

[WERENOTGONATAKEIT]

All this is saying is keep the gas on, then pull in the clutch and shift at the same time then let out the clutch as quick as possible. The reason you do it fast is so you can shift before the RPM's get too high.You should use the clutch as much as possible to keep your bike preforming its best.
