[QUOTE="Kiki, post: 178517, member: 3922"] Great question-- the tech school always told us that "clutchless shifting" is slow to wake the beast. IE-- it seems great for a while, but down the road the thing will have a hard time holding a gear. I honestly shift with the clutch on the street, and without on dirt -- the dirtbike is a CR250, and it still shifts fine-- in fact none of the local MX'ers use the clutch after a start. I do know that my old V65 wouldnt hold 2nd gear after 2 years of drag racing. And a teardown did show damage, but I always clutched, and preloaded the lever-- however, the previous owner was an idiot, and i believe i paid for his sins. (and mine too!!) [/QUOTE]
