[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 188520, member: 1650"] Safe? Sorry? Pull your clutch in and push your bike in any gear off the stand, motor off. WOW, what a release right? Now figure that you are doing three other things while you ride and tell me how exact your timing is going to be when you pull it in and shift. If mine was anywhere close to being properly timed it would be because I was riding on a very boring stretch, and doing it in an extra boring manor. Did you ever wonder what good you are really doing? Adding another hand function to the mix never seemed "safe" to the rider when I have already proven to myself that it isnt dangerous to the transmission to shift it without the clutch. But if you don't have anything else to do while you ride, playing with the clutch handle is ok I guess. FYI I have a 1987 honda cr 500 that I have had since 1988. It has lived on clutchless shifts and ATF since I owned it. I have had it apart in the last 20 hours. No reason to change my shifting habits. Just do what you want, and I stand on the no whine no grind comment made earlier. [/QUOTE]
