huh? now that sounds strange...
I've shifted several times out of laziness without clutch, and noticed i could shift quite easy when you don't crank the throttle. I especially like to downshift without.
My reasoning was when it goes easier there is less strain.. but i'm not doing it much.. Just one time a lot when the clutch lever broke off

Damn red lights are a pain then!!

Thats why I put the, "when racing", you can shift any standard transmission without the clutch, if you shift easy.

ah, thank God
thought i was wrecking mine for a moment...
I don't race, sometimes high speeds but nothing else, curves are fun and i need more practice at it

so is it best to shift the pedal as quick as possible then?

just try it out.. when you know how the bike handles, like best moment to shift gear, just try it. The important thing is not to crank the throttle on that moment. It goes deceivingly easy. I like it cause you can really do everything with one hand, perfect for cruising at low speeds in low-traffic
area's, just chill!

So no CRACK CRACK sound!
If this is intended for racing, then someone else has to answer this...

I do clutchless upshifting sometimes when I'm taking it easy. I tried clutchless downshifting but that didn't work as well as upshifting.
