  • I'm gonna try this tomorrow been reading up on it to see how it's done. A lot of what I've read though has many people saying to use the clutch going from 1st to 2nd and then after that it is okay to clutch-less shift. Apparently doing it from the first to second gear is really rough. What's your opinion on this?

  • @fuckyeah009 As you can see in the vid, my transmission does it no problem. I make no claims for your transmission, though. The first shift is a longer throw, but if you are shifting near your torque peak, and have the shift lever preloaded correctly, you should drop into 2nd, bypassing neutral with no problems.

  • well explained....and nicely exampled... makes a big difference to stable riding, and overall control! Gives a nice feeling through the bike too.... i call it a whaling surge with the power being almost constant - can effect the (dogs) inside the transmission if not done reasonably gently, but most modern bikes can cope with it no problem but can understand your disclaimer -Glad to see you wearing gloves!!! Every time i see you without i cringe with worry!

  • @jimmythesaint1977swl Yeah, and if you pre-load the lever, the transmission does most of the work when you unload the torque. Minimal chance of hurting the dogs if it's done right, in my mind, at least!

  • Is this how they shift in moto gp and all .. or they use clutch ?
