Floating your bike

I was tought when I was really young to float a car, but I had the idea today to learn to float my bike! So I tried it, and I can float it around 5,200 rpm. Is this bad to do on a bike?




FYI- Floating is when the gears on the transmission and engine line up so you can shift w/o having to use a clutch.

My bike is an 05 ZX-6R

I would call that quick shifting or clutchless shifting...never heard it called floating... but I have done it quite a few times... there's no harm in doing it correctly...

Also, :welcome:
