My first Honda 200X is an auto X with a 200s engine. I just bought another one with the X engine and just got it pieced together enough to take it for a spin. I used the clutch lever when I first put it in gear and took off but then forgot to clutch it when I shifted to the higher gears. Am I suppose to use the clutch lever every time I shift or just taking off?

Thanks

 

yes use the cluth everytime, you can powershift as you have been doing but its not all that good bike

 

Ive shifted my 250R and 350X both without the clutch and haven't had a problem with either one (from that at least) if your not beating it all the time wile you do it i don't see anything wrong with it

 

Thanks for the info. I don't beat my machines. I ride easy most of the time(on all 3 wheels). I do play in the mud and snow a little but not out grinding the grab bar off.

Thanks again!

 

You can shift with or without the clutch, I hardly ever use the clutch on pretty much all of my rides, esp my 200x but not using it will wear things out quicker, I just like the fast shifts, and don't really care if it breaks i'll fix it.
