Clutchless Gear Change Challenge

[TriumfAnt]

Change gears from 1st to top, then back to 1st, without using your clutch. Anyone want to accept the challenge?

I did a clutchless shifting vid a while ago. Dont know if it qualifies as i didnt go through all the gears, but i went up and down a few.

How do you embed here? Ive never worked it out.

Your clutchless shifting is a lot smoother than mine. I'd never tried going down the box before, so I will have to practice some more.
I've never embedded, but someone mentioned you use the YouTube link at the top of your post (in full editor mode) and use the long version of the YT video link. Not sure what that means, but maybe the link that appears when you choose to 'share' your video?

I clutchless upshift alot, actually my bike and most bikes are made to just roll off the throttle a bit a jam the next gear....but i dont know about downshifting.....from my expierence with it and what i have heard......its bad for the gear box to clutchless downshift.

I said I was not going to do this but I gave it a try. As far as I know, I didn't lose any piece of bike on the road.

My clutchless upshifts are smooth, the downshifts are sloppy as f* though. I never really felt the need for them so I have basically no practice

 

[TriumfAnt]

While clutchless shifting can be done, it's not recommended by manufacturers. I don't think there's any real use for it, as opposed to up-shifting which can be smoother without the clutch.
Good couple of attempted so far. Anyone else up for the challenge?

But how are you supposed to shift while texting?

And almost lost my phone for doing that.

Disclaimer: This is a joke, just for the camera and was filmed on a closed, empty road. I don't go around riding with my hands on my phone. Also, my phone never rings so no need to text back anyone.

I would never downshift without the clutch :X

:lol: Fantastic. I love the disclaimer as well.

This is no joke, somebody lost his phone today, a few hours ago for doing that.

It was a Motorola V3, it broke in half.
