Bonneville America Forums Forums Rider Safety Forums Riding Technique Clutchless Up-Shifting??

I hardly ever use the cluch when I up shift on this bike. It is so smooth and I shift about the same time I would with a clutch. I just let up on the gas so slightly and it slips in so smooth. must use positive lift with your foot or you can find a new neutral. The old Bonnevilles were not as smoooth as the america, but it could be done. I also would not advise down shifting without the cluch. By the way my old bonny was a 1967.
