Featured 765 Holy Mother Of ***!

Hi SC, clutchless upshifts (ie 3 to 4; 2 to 3, etc) is quite a cool thing to do on a bike and when you get it right it feels great because it gives you this wave of acceleration.

Some peeps reckon they can do it on downshifts as well, but I've never managed that.

 

Here’s an article on how a quickshifter works, and if it is harmful to the gearbox or not https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/32194/how-does-a-quick-shifter-work-in-a-motorcycle

The steps I described in my earlier post accomplishes the same thing but I have to close the throttle manually.

 

Good luck and enjoy your bike Contact SC. I thought the heated grips coming loose was a recall issue.

Had an extended test ride on an Stripple R this morning while my T100 was in for service. OMG, what an amazing bike!! The induction howl and instant power, even in street mode, was licence-damagingly fun. Think I'll stick with my laid back twin on balance but I am so glad I had the chance to go out and play for a couple of hours.

Definitely trickier on the way down Dave! Can do it though with practice and strangely the Bonnie is better at it than the Tiger.
Test rode the new 1200 Tiger with quick-shift up and down (it even blips the throttle on the downshift) but found myself still doing clutchless changes anyway.

 

Go into your rider mode and turn off the traction control, every thing else on track, now that’s fun.
