Message: [QUOTE="Ivan Liechty, post: 33780, member: 16316"] Gary Semics, who trained Jeremy McGrath, said in his book (Motocross and Off-Road Riding Technique) that you do not need to use the clutch when downshifting because there is no load. According to Semics, use the clutch when upshifting, especially when on the throttle. Most of the time us normal riders are not going to abuse the gears or clutches enough to worry whether or not we use the clutch all the time for upshifting. I use my clutch to upshift maybe 1/2 the time. ------------------ Ivan Liechty '93 WR250 [/QUOTE]
