Does shifting without using the clutch damage a motorcycle?

[HopeMarie]

No damage to the motorcycle. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Sequential shifting: Motorcycle transmissions adopt a design similar to sequential gearboxes in cars due to operational requirements, commonly known as "sequential shifting" on motorcycles (most household motorcycles use sequential shifting, while some household and racing motorcycles cannot shift sequentially and only have simple sequential gearboxes). 2. Gear shifting: The gear shifting mechanism is designed to reduce shifting time and simplify operation. During normal riding after starting, you can shift gears without using the clutch. Since the gear arrangement in sequential shifting has no speed difference between gears, there will be no gear grinding phenomenon.
