Message: [QUOTE="SpeedyManiac, post: 813892, member: 19453"] If you want to upshift without the clutch, don't have the throttle open. I do what's called a powershift, in which I keep the throttle pinned, but pull in the clutch just enough to take enough of the load off the tranny that it'll shift. I don't reccommend doing this when just trail riding, but for racing it speeds things up a lot. I usually use the clutch for shifting when play riding because I figure I might as well make it easier on the tranny when I'm not in a hurry. In racing I use the clutch for downshifting sometimes, but when all I'm worried about is speed, I just hit the shifter. [/QUOTE]
