Not completely. You’re just cutting back the throttle a hair (really, you barely need to cut the throttle, especially when you get a feel for it) and then getting right back on it after you shift.

You’re never closing the throttle completely.

On my 04 Gixxer 600, the powerband starts around 6k RPM, but I still clutch it unless I’m around 8k+ RPM. When I say clutch it, I don’t mean pull the clutch all the way in. Use the same technique I described but add a slight, pull of the clutch and quick release when changing gears to smooth it out.

I almost always do this going from 1st to 2nd, unless I’m revving it to 10/11k+ in 1st, otherwise it feels kinda jerky.

Practice makes perfect. It is really easy. It only looks complex on paper.

Not fully. Here’s how u do it:

1) At speed, preload the shifter with your foot by applying pressure as if you’re going to up-shift.
2&3) Cut the throttle slightly (about 25%); don’t close it completely. At the same time, apply pressure to the shifter to snick it into the next gear.
4) Get back on the throttle.

The first few times you try this, do it from 2nd to 3rd gear so you don’t have to worry about neutral. If you’re not in your bike’s powerband you’ll probably need to slip the clutch.

On a sportbike it’s actually harder on the transmission when you use the clutch at speed to up-shift, so no, it won’t ruin anything.

For smooth downshifts, blip the throttle (open it slightly to raise the RPMs – opposite of what you do when speed-shifting up gears) and simultaneously clutch and downshift.

When you up/down-shift properly it’ll feel like you’re riding a bike with automatic transmission – smooth as butter.

No, going up the gears its fine just dip the throttle briefly as you would when using the clutch. I use the clutch going from 1st to 2nd because there is a chance you will end up in neutral.

You may find you hit the odd false neutral but is use it even when riding at gentle speeds.

You dont want to try it going down the box, it will go in but it wont feel pretty!
