[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 15039, member: 40"] I split but lean more to not using it. It is for stopping and starting first, then it is for keeping revs up to get thru an obstacle like hill, corner, rock, etc. I usually use it to down shift since there is more load that way, but not in a quick decision case. Years ago the manufacturers spent a great deaL OF TIME TO GET THE BIKES TRANSMISSIONS IN TIME-THE GEARS SPINNING AT SPEEDS WHICH WOULD LET THEM up SHIFT with full power with no clutch. This was a big deal at the time. Now the newer generation doesnt know how it was and think its always been this way. When i was a kid gear boxes would blow all the time. [/QUOTE]
