Not at all if you don't shift under power. I usualy just hold the gas on and speed shift with the clutch but when arm pump sets in it helps to not bother with the clutch. :whiner:Originally posted by Red Rider 53
Isn't that really hard on the bike to not pull in the clutch when you shift?
There is a method to teaching kids to use a clutch. It will take about 10 minutes for them to learn everything they need to know to take off, even if it's uphill, without stalling or looping out. When you're ready post and I'll type it up for ya.Originally posted by dejackson
Is a 65cc 2-stroke too difficult a bike to learn the clutch process and is the high revving engine suitable for having fun?
You can shift that 80 without the clutch, you'll develop a feel for it. To practice just start off as usual and just as you let off the gas click it up a gear then back on the gas. The more comfortable you get with it you can pop it into a gear without hardly letting off the gas. To down-shift, as you are slowing a bit sorta blip the throttle as you kick it down. It'll pop right in. It doesn't hurt it at all, in fact it'll be less wear on your clutch plates because the clutch will be fully engauged.Originally posted by Red Rider 53
Does it matter what sized bike you have to shift without using the clutch? I have a CR80 could I shift that without pulling in the clutch?
