Wheelies?

Hey when everyone is doing wheelies and shifting, do you pull in your clutch or do you just shift? not pulling in the clutch wont hurt your bike, Correct?

I dunno man, some people say as long as you aren't giving it gas it won't hurt....I say, they put a clutch on it so I'm gonna use it....So, I pull in the clutch to shift. Only takes a little extra practice to get it down, you don't actually have to be that quick either.

I never use the clutch to shift during a wheelie, I stop giving gaz and shift up, it goes really smooth, im pretty sure it doesnt hurt the tranny at all.
Same with my Bike.

when i'm laying into it, i'm going to hold on and not worry about the clutch while I plow through the gears.

That's how I rode my dirtbike and i've done it plenty of times with my raptor

I just use the clutch. It's not that hard to shift with the clutch while doing a wheelie

dirtbikes and quads trannys are made to be shifted with out the clutch. Or racing ones are atleast. If you quad is a one with a dirtbike motor and it isnt a racing drtbike (400ex=xr400) i wouldnt do it. But street bikes are made to use the clutch.

Ok, if you have it turned off and its in gear and you have the clutch pulled in and u can push it freely i wouldnt power shift. Iv you have it turned off and its in gear and the clutch is in and you cant push it freely i would say its ok to power shift.

you people need to learn to clutch on a wheelie, its easy as hell, i can clutch while standing up on the pegs on a wheelie, if you learn to clutch all the time on a wheelie it makes it easier. i could powershift wheelies all day, and i definatly couldnt see my trans lasting. im Shocked like i said in the last post about this about how many people dont use the clutch while shifting on a wheelie.

Don't even have a clutch....I got a crapmatic (aka Automatic). But If I did I would shift without it once and a while, but not every upshift.
