I usually use the clutch when upshifting but I hardly ever use it down ****fting.Just curious on how You guys do it.Whe i do downsift its real smooth cause the bike is winding down.i know a buddy who races 125 shifter and he never uses clutch except to get rolling.He has never experienced any problems.Half the people say you dont need to clucth a sequential and the other half say you do.Opinions?

I only clutch 1-2nd to avoid the potential for false neutrals. 2nd gear is more prone than others to get damaged due to neutral being right there.
@ the strip, @ top speed testing, and on track days I go clutchless from 2nd on up.
Everything else is w/a clutch
Of course all downshifts are w/a clutch and matching revs.

I cant believe you all use the clutch . Rev it hard through the gears lift off brefly and change gear positivly dont ***** foot around . But if you are doing it it in 3rd 4th and 5th keep an eye out for the police you will be doing well over 3 figures we get banned over here .
