Message: [QUOTE="ReDLiNeSHiFT4, post: 814138, member: 54369"] I'm assuming your talking about a 2-stroke. I race with 2-strokes and you can actually shift going almost flat out (about 85% throttle) without having to many problems...It's when you start down-shifting very quickly without giving the transmission enough time to switch gears (like going from 5th to 2nd or 3rd immediatelt without slowing down at all) that you start having problems and grinding gears. Now like the other guys said, shifting w/o any throttle would be best, but only when ur not racing or you are just riding around. When ever you change ur oil, check it for any foreign particles (oil, dirt, etc.) because your oil will show any surprises you may be getting. [/QUOTE]
