Clutchless shifting?

[Wren]

Nevermind I found it

[MSTRS:Me]

Whats a quick shifter guys?

An electronic device to interrupt the power, which means the load on the gears is removed momentarily, allowing you to change gear (with your foot as normal) without using the clutch and without buttoning off the throttle. Becoming common on race bikes. I think...

And how do I get rid of my L-Plate Rider rating

Hmmm my 400 gos up and down guite happy and smooth. It is not un commen for me to be smother (both up and down) by clutchless. Just seems normal to me?

I love this thread, please give me a call for a quote on your next gearbox rebuild, We are good at them, we do them all the time for people that read these clutchless threads but keep their bike for a while... its amaising how short a time it takes to wear them out with abuse....

But isnt the average pree crash life of a bike on KB about 8kms so they never make it to a rebuild?

I read something somewhere that seemed to make sense. The clutch is made to be replaced. The transmission is not. (Talking with relativity to easiness)

Have I got that right?

Ian speaks from his experience of having rebuilt numerous gearboxes from hamfisted riders changing gear without the clutch. I however can honestly say that after 2yrs and 30,000km my gearbox is still fine (from an operational view) after numerous clutchless changes both up and down the box. Still, if it's not done correctly then you'll be on a first name basis with your mechanic.

From a machinist point of view, a clutch is made to gradually apply power to a system, equalising speeds between driving and driven sides of a system, also reducing shock loading on wearing surfaces, it only makes sense that not using your clutch WILL wear out your box faster than without..
