My gearbox

Obviously the cogs are not fully engaging unless you use the clutch.

 

Does this mean he's posted something right?

 

"correctly executed"

Hmm.

 

Correct clutchless upchanges are a skill requiring mechanical sympathy.
Done with typical clumsiness they are going to cause damage, done by
experts they may be relatively harmless.

Interestingly, the Jawa 350 had a clever mechanism linking the gearchange
to the clutch so "clutchless" changes activated the clutch.

 

Ukrm can form an orderly queue behind me.

 

I remember that. Didn't the CZ 125/175 singles have something the same?

Ahem. ITYF I was first.

 

So did some horrible old Triumphs. At least they didn't also use the
gear lever as the kickstarter, as Jawa did.

 

They sure did. With practice you could pull away while scratching your
arse with your left hand.

 

You could also inadvertently start them in reverse. DAMHIK,IJK,OK?

 

You've obviously never ridden a modern Suzuki gearbox. Clutch or
clutchless, hamfisted or not, they've perfectly smooth.

 

Point of order WUN; you only wanted the toolchests, you made no mention
of the contents.

Bugger!

Oh well, that'll have to do.

(fine print: obviously, I hope you live for ever, and have a long happy
and productive life. I would never wish to profit from another's
misfortune, in any way... {cont. P. 94})

IM(admittedly fairly limited)E, this isn't restricted to modern Suzuki
gearboxes: Suzuki have always made the slickest boxes.

So slick that they tempt HAG types that are accustomed to inferior
products to try clutchless downchanges - they aren't so fucking slick
after that sort of abuse, I can tell you.

Who does it right all the time?
It doesn't take many fuffed changes to do the damage and I'm firmly of
the opinion that lots of 'correctly executed' changes will do similar
damage.

 

Prescience and foresight being the order of the day in Czechoslovakia,
the designers knew many of those bikes would be spending a lot of their
time off the road.

 

Hmmm I almost always change up from 3rd gear on without the clutch and
always have. I've never actually had a selector fork failure or problem.
With SOBoxers it's the smoothest way to go up through the box.
