how do you shift with an auto clutch?? do you have to rpm match or is it air powered like a drag racer or is there a manual clutch for shifting?

I emailed the guy he said you just have to let off the throttle, to upshift. No clutch, no airshift like the busa's.

The ones that I have seen use ball and ramp technology instead of clutch springs. Basically you ride the same way you do now except for during take off and stops you don't have to pull the clutch lever in. When the engine drops below a certain rpm the clutch disengages itself. Rev it up past that rpm and it engages.

This one gets into a little more depth. Sounds good for heavy traffic situations or parking lots.
