Clutchless down shifting is hard to do, and hard on the transmission since you have to match the RPM so the dog's will engage. I don't know why you would want to anyway. If you use the clutch you can control wheel hop, and corner entry speed on corner entry, like a poor mans slipper clutch. As for clutchless upshift, it is easy on the transmission, and the faster way around a track. Also if anyone is interested I have been using MPLS racings quickshifter kit on my Ninja and on my old Ducati 996 race bike for years they work great and are easy to install, and only $149.00!!!!! So you can get full throttle upshifts, and we all know we can't afford to loose any momentum on our 250's!!!!!...Oh and I do not work for MPLS just passing along an afordable tool.
