clutchless up shifting?

does it do any damage?

 

If you're ham-footed, yes.

 

It's been done several times - try Google

 

thanks

 

If *I* can do it for 14k miles without damage, then 'no'.

I think we need a Timo verdict on this one ;-)

 

The ONLY reason i was asking, is that for the very first time on Thursday i
was on the bike ALL day, had three different pillions and on the way home
my left hand just froze up??? it was really painfull, i suppose like RSI
???

So, i've done it in a cage before when the clutch cable snapped and was
surprised to see how very easy it was. Only shifting up, not down.

I didn't *think* i was doing any damage as it didn't make any obscene noises
and thought it actually felt smoother, but if it's going to **** my gearbox
then i'll give it a miss.

 

Well that will obviously be 'yes' then innit

When you time it properly it will actually do less damage than using
the clutch. When you do it badly you will damage your bike.

 

How does one do it badly?

Catman secured a place in history by writing:

Two ways IME (1) (2)

(1) Nothing happens and your toes are compressing, so you give up.
(2) clonck, crunch, lurch, visor contact with screen, legs flail....

 

Put fluffy ears/moheican/other helmet attire on, possibly with soem
tireflys.

 

Right. I should be fine then

Though I was considering one of those repeater brake lights for the
back of the helmet....

That's doing it dreadfully.

 

By forcing it in, young man.

 

And spokey-dokeys.
