clutchless shifting?

i know it's in the throttle where if you time it right, it will release the gear box for quick moment and it will let you shift w/o applying the clutch.

i need more details since i forgot some details that my mechanic told me.

back off throttle, slam shifter in desired direction.

Why would you want to do that to your poor bike?

You only need to blip it just enough to take the load off the gears while you power shift it. Both actions will take place in a fraction of a second.

eh? i thought if done right, it makes no difference to shifting w/ the clutch.

that's it! that sounded like what my mechanic told me.

blip is when you off-on the throttle quickly, right?

Or vice-versa, yes.

Well, the key here is doing it right. If you mess up while trying to get it right, you'll inevitably cause damage.
