    You don't really need to on the way up, but it doesn't hurt anything. If you're not using a quick shifter though, you'll still need to drop the throttle. I can hear it revving on ur shifts

    One of my vids of a couple sessions in the afternoon. My front camera had issues so I only have the rear facing forward.

    I use clutch when shift , why should I drop the throttle then ?No quickshifter on my bike . I even run safety pin on my chain instead of rivet ,is it wrong ?

    Just a suggestion, thats all

    smoother shifting and you wont be reving up and down so hard every time u shift

    Doesn't hurt anything either way

    Like Joe said, clutch less upshifts are not imperative. Though doing it can help you upshift a bit quicker and create less wear on the clutch. Also if you are not dropping revs when you shift up, you may be doing a bit more wear to the clutch. Again, this is a minor thing, but once you start using clutch less upshifts at the track you probably won't go back. FWIW, I do use the clutch for upshifts on the street, just not on the track.

    I'm planning to race. I still have to get the bike wired up and buy my license, but I should be out there. How about you, are you back now, or still over in Europe?

    Found some useable footage off my front camera. Narrow field of view but it works.
