Nightster up and down shifting Q's
Im not sure if this is only pertaining the nightster or all harley's or any bike for that matter. I know you could down shift and up shift without using the clutch. My question is if there's any wrong or damage caused by doing so. It seems to me that down shifting causes more stress than up shifting. Im tried both and I have to say the upshifting just as a release the throttle feels just right, now I'm no bike expert so i would like to know if this should be avoided? Thanks

should a bought a crotch rocket if you don't want to use the clutch. downshifting without the clutch=bad news. upshifting without it, can be done but i wouldn't recommend that either on a daily driver. like konel1 said....[quote] "they would have just ommited the clutch in the beginning and made it an automatic".

If using the clutch is a problem, maybe this would better suit your needs.

I really didn't intend for this to become a "I DONT WANT TO USE THE CLUTCH" thread. It was a simply question incase it was done, rare occasions, to understand the damage it could cause. I like using my clutch and i understand that if it has a clutch it must be for a reason. Thanks for your replies.
