Clutchless upshifting ?

[Frosties]

I always use the clutch between 1 and 2 and use the clutch between 2 and 3 in town as the revs are generally lower and therefore is very sensitive so if you get it wrong it can give a bit of a clunk. The rest of the time I shift up without clutch. Slight pressure under gear lever with foot then back of throttle for a split second, the gear snicks up and then you're back on the power. Takes a bit of practice to get it smooth but it feels sooo good when you get it.

Totally agree with Chris - well described fella. In town clutch 2nd to 3rd, out of town clutch only 1st to 2nd. Slight pressure under the gear lever is the key. Makes a smoother ride I find especially with a pillion.
