Message: [QUOTE="Shig, post: 814028, member: 50190"] I too use Speedy's power shifting technique and I've never had a tranny problem. I always have one finger on the clutch and only pull it in about 1/3 of the way when upshifting. When downshifting, I always use the clutch. Not because it's easier on the tranny, but because it's a smoother way to decelerate, maintain traction and keep from stalling when you are braking while downshifting. Say for instance you are hauling butt into a fast sweeper and you don't use the clutch to downshift before the apex. The abrupt jolt to the back wheel could make the bike want to stand up or lose traction. [/QUOTE]
