I went on a IAM check ride today, and all went well. A couple of things he mentioned to help improve my smoothness was clutchless gear changes.
I know this was mentioned before but can't remember where.
He was saying use the clutch on 1,2,3 up changes, on 4th put a little pressure on the gear lever and then you can use less clutch when you go to change, thats fine as i would still be using the clutch. But on 5 and 6th up changes he said he doesn't use the clutch at all.
Is this ok with our gear boxes, because they are quite clunky at the best of times. Its and 02 600.
On all down changes he said use the clutch at all times.
I just want to know if this is ok on the gear box, NOT whether it is an appropriate thing to do in every day riding.
Cheers
Nick
