I was just reading in my Sport Rider mag about not having to use the clutch to shift. Saying that if you let of the throttle a small amount and in a quick movement,upshift. Sounds good and all but I would like to get someones thoughts that has tried this before I try it. Any thoughts will be great and if you know someone that has tried it let me know what they thought as well.

I normally shift at 7-8000rpm's. So would I take it higher and then let off the throttle a bit and shift or poss no letting off the throttle and power shift??

Gave it a try today and I think I will be doing it like that for now on. Great tip I found and thanks to all for your advise as well.

You dont really need the clutch. The gears and Snycros can handle the little bit of punishment. I had a bike with almost 30k on it and only used the clutch to start and stop. Never had a problem. Just ran good oil and changed it @ 2500 miles.

See...I knew I should have asked you. LOL
