Clutch less up shifting

I've been clutchless shifting for 44 years........
It does no harm up or down.
The rear tire will lock up momentarily when downshifting.
I've never had any transmission issues or worn teeth on the gears.
Wait for it....

I only do this in the dirt riding motocross..........

Because we are in the street, I'd highly advise you not do it.
You can bend you shift forks in the transmission.
Most transmissions are constant mesh so the gears will be OK.
Downshifts if not executed perfectly will lock up the rear wheel momentarily and that will cause loss of control in the street.
Occasional clutchless shifting is fine if you match the RPMs to the gear selected as you shift and that is very tricky.
To replace the shift fork you bent will require a 100% teardown of your engine......nuff said...

Have fun

My 1999 Triumph has a bullet proof transmission.....:rolleyes::leghump:

Actually, the first thing I noticed it that it is smoother into 1st and smoother from 1st into 2nd and through 6th than the FZ6R was.
