Power Shifting

[MDK]

Just got my 06 yfz 2 days ago.....is power shifting a bad habit to start?

[wesw]

with clutch at wot its ok or can be done.

 

wot with no clutch i would suggest. unless you want some tranny mod coming.

get an override if you want that.

I wouldnt get an over-ride unless all you did was drag race. Its too much pressure to remember to pull in the clutch when your just riding around.

Ya, if you don't run the over-ride right, you are going to tear shit up. So, if you don't just drag the bike its a waste of money, and will cost you a lot more if not used right............ :beer:

thanks for the info guys. i was just wondering cuz after riding my ass off all day i was tired so when i dragged my buddy and his banshee i would just let off the trottle and shift w/out clutch. it felt real smooth and shifted fine but i kinda figured it was not good for my unit.

Thats why you get a duneable override which allows you to shift like a regular override and also use it as a regular clutch.

there is alot of guys that race yfz450's at the drags where i race and one is areally good friend. how they shift is holding pressure on the shifter and when it hits the rev limiter it goes in gear. it works great for them and it sounds just like a override, really smooth. you'll have to try it my buddy says it takes a little to get the hang off.

yeah i AM afraid of tearing something up, thats why i asked. I'd rather lose 3/100 of a second and use my clutch than have my quad fak up.

the rev limiter is there for a reason, to keep the bike from over revving. Its not htat bad to momentarily hit the rev limiter. Listen closely the AMA outdoors, the whole time those bikes are in th eair they are on the rev limiter.

Thats one good reason they have sponsors, is so when they tear things up they don't have to pay to fix it. That is also a major reason they have to rebuild their bikes every season, and sometimes more than once.

 

My .02 is get the right equipment and use it for what it was intended to do and you won't have as many problems.................. :beer:
