clutchless shifting
I know this is probably the thing u guys have talked about a million times, but i started clutchless shifting just because i always heard people talking about it and i was wondering if there is anyone who does it as their usual riding method and if they have had any problems, it feels much much much smoother than using the clutch, i havent started doing it all the time yet just wondering if i should

Ive done it for almost a year now...shifts so much faster...but only for up shifting... hardly ever for downshifting. I like controling the revvs better into turns or coming to a stop. and never for 1st-2nd...somtimes you will end up in neutral. and if i am just cruising...ill use the clutch sometimes...

I dont use the clutch at all for aggressive upshifting. Upshifting around town going slow is usually a bit clunky.The gears are undercut and will draw togetherwhether using the clutch or not. Clutchless downshifting... not usually good, use the clutch and blip the throttle. Breaking the rear tire loose on careless downshifts isbad for the digestion.

You have to preload the shift lever and quickly back off the gas for it to engage. There are hundreds of online tutorials on how to do the technique. Clutchless downshifting, although doable isn't recommended much, but I've done it once or twice on my bike...actually I learned it before upshifting.
