Clutchless gearchange ok?

[His Dudeness]

At worst it'll increase clutch plate wear a bit but couldn't it be by much. If you were going down that line of thinking you wouldn't go above 20mph because you're increasing wear on everything or you wouldn't go above 3000 RPM because you're wearing out the engine faster. It's not going to cause any appreciable wear imo. It's just part of riding a bike. If you're not doing it you're losing out on a lot of stopping power. Plus doing it means you're in the right gear at the right RPM ready to go when you come off the brakes.
