no you wont freak the bike up...

you will grind the edges of the shift forks and round off the engaging cogs of the gears. then later on it will start popping out of gears under a load. I AM SICK OF THESE IDIOTS SAYING IT WILL NOT HURT ANY THING. i have torn down numerous bike trannys and seen the damage that it does. i currently have a yz 250 engine torn down showing evidence of some jerk shifting without the clutch. it will damage stuff. these people that say it wont probably only keep their bike for 2 years and sell it.it may not show up right away,but if you plan on keeping the bike for a long time, it will give you problems. there are specail trans mods that can be done to make it shift without the clutch,but stock trannies are not designed for that.

what kind of mods can you do so you dont need to use the clutch?

[blueshee03]

if you drag race only you can get an overide tranny.the overide is only for drag racing and you don't use clutch to shift only to start out and to stop.you can mod a stock tranny to make it shift smoother and easier though.

This is true and good info up to a point- if a person backs off the throttle and quicky snicks the shifter into the next gear, the damage is minimal. I do it every now and then and don't worry about it much, but not very often. It won't break the trans, but it's not the best thing for it.
