lol lovely way to put that, and like i said, i didnt use it, but then i heard things from people, and i understand the dealer will *** rape me, but theyre guys i know, im getting a job at this place, and they treat me pretty well ...and when i asked i felt that the bike was supposed to be shifted without the clutch, because it does it so easily, and smoothly, but hearing other peoples thoughts about it, made me change my mind...
they have you right where they want you, better get some KY bro

I don't own a road bike. I ride quads and soon switching to a dirt bike. I don't know if this apllies, but I don't use the clutch to shift except to shift from first then to neutral. I'll do the same with my kx when it is back together. You can hear the motor wind down and shift down without the clutch by that. mt 2 cents

what rpm's does it have to be to shift up clutchless? 7-10k? i kinda tried it once (up and once down) but all it did was shoot to redline. although, I still shift pretty fast with the clutch.

Nah, doesn't necesarilly have to be 7-10 k.... I usuallly upshift on average around town driving, 5-6 k with no probs.

Now, if racing, etc, I can shift her like she's an automatic, with out clutch. Just play with it, and you will get it down.

Only use the clutch downshifting and starting, but thats how I drove all my manual shifting vehicles. Have never had to replace a clutch or tranny.
