Does Shifting Without the Clutch Damage a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Shifting without using the clutch on a motorcycle does not damage the bike. Here is some relevant information about motorcycle clutch shifting: Gears: Motorcycles currently mainly have two types of gear systems - the rotary gear and the sequential gear (international gear). The rotary gear cycles through 0-1-2-3-4-5-0, while the international gear follows 1-0-2-3-4-5 without cycling, with neutral located between 1st and 2nd gear. Precautions: Releasing the clutch too quickly in first gear can also cause the engine to stall. Unlike cars, motorcycles have separate front and rear brakes. The rear brake is operated by the right foot, and the front brake is controlled by the right hand. Braking only with the front wheel may throw the rider off, while braking only with the rear wheel results in a longer stopping distance. Emergency braking requires simultaneous use of both brakes, which can be difficult to master.
