I powershift all the time, as well as use ATF. My bike must be a ticking time bomb.j32 said:power shifting-(not useing the clutch)
too thin of oil

If you are talking about your CRF, there is no f'n way you should have been able to break 2 teeth off since you got it. There is no way a less than one year old bike already wore out tranny parts. Sounds like a manufacturers defect to me. To answer your question. This is not the nature of MX. According to some, I beat my gearbox pretty good and have never had a single shifting problem.
I do notice that you said OLD, not NEW.j32 said:well thats how i broke 2gears in my old kx
Ok, thanks for the advice.j32 said:stop shifting that way
Masterphil said:A little OT, but when you say powershifting, do you mean:
1) Keep it pinned (no not touch the clutch) and shift while still on the throttle.
2) Let off the throttle only long enough to shift, then back on again.
3) Keep it pinned, tap the clutch and shift at the same time, still on the throttle. (This is what I do 100% of the time when track riding, otherwise I do #2)
Masterphil said:My bike doesn't like shifting like that(I have to push REALLY hard on the shifter), so I just keep it pinned and tap the clutch. It makes sure the bike stays on the pipe, too.
