I usually use the clutch everytime i shift, i heard powershifting will mess up the clutch and gears eventually but im not too sure..
Shifting without the clutch?
- Thread starter eMTea
- Start date
thats the pussy way.
@SRAD97750 what do you mean how to neutral the throttle how do I do that? Just off the gas and shift?
Essentially yes, but you must wait for the engine load to be near zero. It takes practice and a good feel for your transmission.
Weighting the lever and dipping off the throttle will shift it as well, but MUCH more violently.

This is just a suggestion!
I have always thought my cables were "good" until I started replacing them when they get a year old or so.
Makes a world of difference to throw a brand new $15 Motion Pro cable on!
I tried lubing and reviving a used cable, the new one out performed it hands down. -BIG DAN

worth a try i spouse..anyway iv to get a shorter cable made up as the easy pull system lenthens the cable about 3/4 of a foot.. that's if i still have the bike after the weekend..there is someone coming to look at it.i be sad to leave it go.
but iv my eye on this... can anyone give me the lowdown on these??? 
^^^^ That's a great bike
If you try pushing your bike in gear, with the clutch in, warm or hot you get an idea of how much drag the gear dogs are going to be loaded with when they find their sockets and match up. I have a cr500 that was new in 1987. I have shifted it without the clutch for the most part ever since. It is the old style gear dog arrangment too. It looks just fine inside. If you break a transmission it probably isn't from using or not using the clutch. power on hard shifting with mismatched shaft speeds are going to take their toll no matter what.
One of the harder things on the transmissions are added flywheel weight, and said hard shifting. FYI, I also have a 95 rpm kitted yz 125 that has seen lots of time shifting without the clutch. Clutches are almost a personal thing. Do it if you want to.
