    yer and i wonder how much a new gearbox costs in the long term NOT good for gearboxes

  2. Dennissays

    Does this pose any damage potential on clutch or gears?

    when you say apply pressure and put your fingers like that…it reminds me of going to the doctor and getting a hernia check.

    Yeah you idiot, nothing like wearing out the synchronizers in your gearbox! This is just another example of how stupid american motorcyclists can be.

    I can’t just use the brake to slow right down then? I have to change gears?

    wouldn’t it damage the bike if you do not use the clutch?

    Is it not bad for your transmission to not use the clutch?

    Great vid. Quick question – When you downshift do you hold the clutch in until you kick it down? Or do u just pull it in for a moment when u blip the gas then let it out, then you kick it down?

    doesnt shifting without the clutch fuck up the gears and wear them down inside of ur bike… on a dirt bike you will need to buy new parts if u do this but idk about sport bikes

    Great video thank you. Just been out on the blade and got it right first time, makes for a much smoother ride. I can see it coming in handy.
