[QUOTE="Zenith, post: 401790, member: 21314"] You can carry much more speed through a corner if you go into it in a high gear and slip the clutch to keep the bike revving. Yes this will burn your clutch out quicker(although you'll still get years out of it) but if you are racing MX and you are perfectly prepared to spend $200 on an FMF system for the tiny gain you get from one, why not be willing to spend an extra $40 for clutch plates every few years? Shifting with out the clutch seems to be a wildly debated point but everybody I know does it with no gear box problems so I will continue. It depends on the bike but on mine I hold the throttle wide open and shift, no clutch, no letting off the throttle. This works every time with no scrunching or forcing it. This is power shifting and what is recommended in the Pro MX riding techniques book from Eric Gorrs website, especially for the start straight. I'm open to opinions about it but I will continue to power shift because there is a lot of speed to be gained by it, which you need on a 125... Philip, [/QUOTE]
