Good answer Bulldog, not to the question I posed, but good answer.
No one is going to try to understand my point…
No one.
The concern is not how well or otherwise you can make the shift…..Does everyone get that ?
It is what the dogs are being asked to do when they engage, absolutely sweet bugger all to to with “technique”. Donald Duck could shift the gear and the dogs would still have the same task to perform.
As an aside, when you blip the throttle, is that on an upshift or downshift ?
On an upshift, what is the process you do for the blip and when you blip for the downshift, what do you do then ?
Can you detail what you do with the throttle for each ?
That is your hand, not foot.
No one has to tell you. just was the first 5 minutes of this video and he will show you clutchless upshifts on a V85TT. Both hand in the shot so you can actually see and hear what he is doing. Worry about downshifts later.

So I completely get why you have the questions you do. The torque on a driveline is no joke, but a 3-500 rpm difference when there is no stress on the drivetrain is no where near the limit. Reving the motor up some and releasing the clutch loads a bunch of torque on the driveline. As you said there are springs on the clutch and there are cushions in the final drive. the dog gears engage with the same force of speed difference when unloaded. clutch or throttle is no difference on the gears.
