xt45 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 using what method can you change your gear the fastest, for example going from first to second or second to first, so that you do not loose momentom Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 using what method can you change your gear the fastest, for example going from first to second or second to first, so that you do not loose momentom I start by slightly letting off the gas to ease the pressure on the transmission gears, then I lift my left toes up to hit second. It usually works. I do just the opposite to shift down. Quote
xt45 Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Posted April 17, 2004 so you are not using the clutch and that is bad for your clutch and the transmission Quote

No, he is using the clutch...if you dont use the clutch...then your gonna eat them gears up before u can say "use the clutch" becasue i have broke 2 3rd/4th pinion gears...and i was using the clutch too.....always have...and it helps from not shifting..if you dont use your clutch then you wont shift so easy, you will be craming the gears back and forth....USE the clutch at all time...if not you will pay for it.

locogato11283 Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 uhhh. i never use the clutch when im dragging and i have never had 1 problem with this on any of my bikes. i dont think you wanna jam it down a gear without a clutch. when im in the trails or something like that i always use it, shifting up or down. straight line dragging tho i dont use it.

MULLET~BOY Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 the only time i use the clutch is if i'm bogging Quote
00BANSHEE Posted April 17, 2004 Report Posted April 17, 2004 When drag racing I launch in 2nd with the throttle pinned. I then keep it pinned and fan the clutch when shifting through the gears until the end of the track. Quote
