[QUOTE="Masterphil, post: 991458, member: 55234"] Dry shifting? What do you mean by that? The techinque you described is how it is done. Here's what I do when I'm racing. The only time that I use the clutch to shift is when I'm under power. The throttle stays pinned, I pull up on the shift lever at the same time I tap the clutch. This is powershifting. It takes less time shifting like this than it does to cut the throttle, shift, and turn it back on. Even if it didn't, the powershift method makes sure that it stays on the pipe. Ask any good car dragracer how he shifts a manual transmission on the track. ShifterKarts don't use the clutch when shifting, and I would bet that the sticky tires and pavement put a lot more stress on the gearbox than MX'ing does. [/QUOTE]
