[QUOTE="dustyrains, post: 784623, member: 18764"] This is copy and paste from an earlier post by me. Shifting in town from 1 to 2 -- smoothest way -- pulling away from a stop, as soon the bike is rolling and clutch has fully engaged, flick into 2nd with no throttle movement at all. Like maybe 15 feet from the stop, flick up. On the highway, hard accel, just the tiniest, briefest, very fast throttle twitch will get you very very smooth, fast upshifts with no lag. All you want to do is unload the clutch and gearbox for just a fraction of a second. Although you can upshift with no throttle twitch at all, it's smoother and faster the way I just described. I don't know why Yamaha ever said to roll completely off the throttle. That's just stupid, like they never even rode their own motorcycle. It took me a couple weeks practice to master the timing of the "twitch". I discovered it on my own, as I am sure others did also, now you have the benefit. Downshift, just close the throttle and flick down when appropriate. Fun. [/QUOTE]
