[QUOTE="Birken Vogt, post: 399894, member: 29698"] My personal preference is to not use the clutch on my CR because the tighter gear spacing makes it not so "bangey" but I do on my XR. However if in sand with the CR I will sometimes use the clutch if I want to stay on the power while shifting, because normally I back off the throttle quickly to shift and that does weird things in the sand. Anssi is right, motorcycle transmissions have no synchros, they just shift by banging the dog teeth into one another and forcing into the next gear. That being said I am more of a mechanic than a good rider and like any mechanic I can't stand to abuse equipment when operating it, and also am really grumpy when it comes time to actually do mechanic work, so I operate the clutch on a motorcycle much the same as I would on a 15-speed dump truck, that is to say, not ever slipping it under power except to start moving and for a very short period even then. I am sure that makes me a very spodely rider. [/QUOTE]
