[QUOTE="husabutt, post: 1192259, member: 65883"] Motorcycle gear boxes are of the constant-mesh type. That means the gears are always meshed together and rotating. The gear is locked in by sliding on the shaft into its companion gear. The locking is done by what is called the gear dogs. This type of transmission is very durable and can take much abuse. Read shifting without the clutch. While it is recommended to use the clutch every time you shift most racers and riders do not use it unless starting out in first gear. I personally never use the clutch when shifting. If you back the throttle off a little when shifting it is almost as good as using the clutch as far as wearing out your gear dogs goes. So: Best: Use the clutch every shift Good: Back off the throttle a lot before you shift O.K.: Back off the throttle a little before you shift Racing conditions: Shift without the clutch, full throttle and don't back the throttle off a hair. Modern racing motorcycles are expected to be able to shift under full power without the clutch and not break the transmission. [/QUOTE]
