[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1281838, member: 68872"] There are risks involved in not using the clutch. It is harder on the equipment, no doubt about it. If you are willing to trade the increased wear and tear for the small inprovement in performance then go for it. If you are just being lazy, then I would say that it is not a good trade. There is also a chance that shift will "miss". If you are upshifting then there is a chance that you could end up over-reving the engine. I always use the clutch when upshifting. If I am climbing a hill and need to downshift to keep going I will often power shift. One notable exception was during the last enduro I rode. Halfway through the first loop I dumped the bike and broke the clutch lever off flush with the perch. I still had about 8 miles to go on the first loop. It was a bitch, especially when I had to stop at the checkpoints but I completed the loop. Rod [/QUOTE]
