Haven't tried it out yet (I was reading that thread too). My bike is un-rego'd at the moment, when I rego it, will give it a go.

Shifts are bad enough so never tempted it.

5th and 6th gear changes are always "clutchless" for me. Just a little relax on the throttle, light lift on the shift lever and it clicks right into gear smoother than using the clutch. Down shifts are always done with the clutch.

Just takes a little practice.

I've been doing it for almost 2 years. 1st to 2nd - clutch, all others - clutchless. No problems so far.

Have always been a "Cluchless upshifter" but found when i got my FZ that the gear box was a bit clunky, so didnt do it as much, but since i have changed to fully synthetic oil, my gear box is a lot smoother, and clutchless shifts are now a joy! Would love a slipper clutch for shifting down, etc.

clutchless up-shifting on the fz is WORLDS smoother and less 'clunky' than using the clutch. the difference is night and day. i recommend it to everyone! i found i needed to adjust the height of my shift lever a touch so it's easier to pre-load the lever.

ive gone clutchless for upshift and downshift.. once you get down to 3 to 2 it gets a lil pull back.. but if your really on it from first into second shifting without the clutch .. that bad boy comes all the way up off of the ground
