General Discussion / Re: Quickshifter for V85?
« Last post by Ncdan on Today at 09:19:33 AM »I’m not going to attempt to address the technical aspects of this conversation, just add my existing experience with “no clutch shifts”.
I have a 1983 Honda CB1000C and this transmission can be smoothly shifted in any gear, including 1st to 2nd gear which can be iffy without experience.
I simply back off the throttle for an instant and quickly and firmly pull up of the shifter. There is no grinding or jerking, just a smooth shift. I think it’s simply the design of a superior designed transmission as my prior CB900s could also be clutchless shifted easily and smoothly.
I think the question that would need addressing is what are we, who do this, are actually accomplishing by making gear shifts eliminating the clutch???
The only thing I can say I do it for is to possibly lengthen the life of the clutch and cable and I’m not about to say that this practice significantly accomplishes this.
I would say that if there is even a slight chance off destroying a transmission, then it ain’t worth the effort.
