When you shift gears like into 3,4,5,and 6 do you use the clutch?
Would it be bad to just let off the gas then shift?

 

You can do it either way, but remember the clutch is there for a reason... Correct me if im wrong but it is bad on transmission in long run.

sure.......you can do whatever you want.........but I wouldn't..........that clutch is there for a reason and I intend on using it.........

or you could be like me dumbass cousin that has a predator and more money than he knows what to do with...........and he refuses to use his clutch to shift gears...........only to start off and stop........

geesh......I wish I had the money to give my trans hell and not care.......LoL

 

I'm your dumbass cousin! I use the clutch lever to keep the engine from stalling and that's pretty much it. I practice this with all my toys; karts, bikes (dirt and street) & quads. That's not to say I don't use it at times, but I don't typically concern myself with it under general conditions. To each his own.

Just roll off the throttle for a split second, shift and you're good. Downshifting? blip it and then shift. It's all in your timing. It's an easy practice to adpot.

Clutch? I though it was a trigger to be used when leaving the line! PULL AND FIRE!!! LOL

I use the cluth when trail riding but NEVER touch it going down the track. Thats my .02 cents

 

Personally, I'd rather buy a $90 clutch kit than a $900 transmission rebuild. It might not break this time, or the next time, or for the next hundred times; but just think, how much longer would it have lasted if you had clutched? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
