Watched a show where they said upshifting without the clutch is easy to do on newer sport bikes. Anyone have any experience with this on the FZ ?
Yes. It's a bit clunky going from first to second (I assume because you're also going thru Neutral, or maybe I'm doing it wrong), but from 2nd thru 6th it's usually how I do it anymore. As you reach the top of your current gear, just apply light upward pressure on the shifter and drop your throttle a bit, she slips right in!
Is there a particular RPM that the bikes seem to shift more smoothly when not using the clutch ?
Hey Erci,
very off topic but do you ride a black FZ6?
I guess a good way to answer this is, has anyone on this board had to rebuild their clutch/gearbox? I've been here since '07 and can't remember anyone doing that...my dear friends,
this will definitely stay a mystery to me... will some "expert" resolve it and give us proper guide... someone says it's not recommended, someone strongly recommend it.. definitely, most of a riders recommend it from 2 to 6th gear and not for downshifting..
One is shore, clutchless upshifting is smooth and most probably will never have negativ impact on gearbox and clutch...
