I don't think that it hurts to much, it depends on how you ride, I don't think that it hurts to much when you down shift with out using the clutch I've done it alot over the years and its never damaged my quads.
If your good you can power clutch your bike and pass those who don't use the clutch. Quads are ment to be riden hard in the summer and rebuilt in the winter.

As the saying goes"never lift".I would say the only way to drag race is to power shift.Keep on keep"in on !
