I tried shifting this way a couple of times but I couldn't get it to be smoother than if I used the clutch like some people said it should be. So to be smoother I just need to work on timing right?
the smoothest clutchless will be from WOT, cutting the throttle as quickly as you can and getting back on the gas as soon as you can after the gear goes in. each bike is a little different, but if you work out how fast your hand moves, the only difference is how far back you twist the throttle to get it to mesh in smoothely
