[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 164713, member: 1650"] 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. [/QUOTE]
