Can you change up as well as down without using the clutch, and are they ok for everyday use, or a track only tool?

Cheers.

it was my understanding that you only change up not using the clutch and use it for downshifts, you can turn most of them on and off and you can still change gear normally if you want to.

yikes

Hope your not doing clutchless downshifts at the moment.....else you'll be needing a R1 sooner than you think.

A friend has one that does up and down, and only up is clutchless, TBH i don't see the point of the down button, it's easier to knock it with your foot and the movement is so vicious on the gearbox it's not worth it IMO

I use one on the road and track and TBH I hate riding bikes without them now! Bike for bike it is 6 foot per change when accelerating so you do the maths round a track. Trickshifters (like mine) can do downshifts with a more expensive add on but it is only designed to mimic a slipper clutch to prevent chatter etc - its a waste of time in my opinion.

I think it should have a slipper clutch though, my K7 600 did.
