wow pretty bold statement to call people idiots....not tryin to start a fight but id like to hear your reasoning for that comment? maybe your the idiot since your doing something that isn't necessary lol? And please dont say its bad for your quad to shift without the clutch...if your gonna say that then show me why and explain what parts it hurts? chop the gas and theres ZERO load on the tranny and since its constant mesh it will shift just as easy as if the clutch was pulled and not hurt any parts at all...just a thought...but i would still like to hear your reasoning...if you have any
well yes it is there for a reason....and that reason is to let the piston crankshaft assembly operate either connected or disconnected from the gears, and that disconnected part is kinda important to do stuff like start it, and come to a complete stop ya know. I feel like if you knew how stuff actually worked you wouldnt be so one sided about this. Nothing is "bound to go wrong" if you shift without the clutch....actually your clutch disks WILL LAST MUCH LONGER since your only slipping them to stop and start, and as long as your chopping the throttle when you shift to unload the gears, they will not take anymore stress than if you used the clutch. Im not saying that you cant use the clutch to shift....just dont be arrogant and call people idiots who dont use it, because in fact they are saving money on clutch disks, and faster than you through the gears...sounds pretty smart to me...just think before you flame
same concept as shiftin a car or truck with out aclutch.. match the rpm's.. look at semi's they only use the clutch when takin off, and stopping... 200-300-400-500k miles of driving like that pulling how many tons of stuff... if you know how to do it properly you wont hurt anything.........
i think there was another thread like this a few months back
