[QUOTE=san2000,Mar 12 2008, 08:36 PM]
The smooth clutchless shift is all down to your throttle application. Keep the throttle wide open and the tension on the gearbox makes it very difficult to do. Wind the throttle closed and then open and the bike will snatch as the gearbox and final drive chain go slack then snap back when the power is reapplied.

Speed shifting is smoother but does nothing for your clutch! A speed shift is when the rider keeps pressure on the gear lever and then stokes the clutch lever to allow the next gear selection to take place. The clutch then slips to catch up with the engines increased revs, an effect of the cutch slipping.

The clutchless shift is simple to perform but will take some practice to get just right. And it

Oh, and I should add that my CBR reached a HUGE milestone on Friday - 2000 miles since new. Should I sell it before it becomes unsellable??

I have to say I've avoided clutchless gear changes for fear of caousing damage. I guess this is unfounded so I'll have a go now.
