As the title states, will be moving up to 65s next year, just wondering if you taught your kids to clutch with every shift, or if that made things a little more complicated for them?
Or did you teach them, but then the realized at some point it still works without the clutch and they stopped using it?
Thanks!
Never brought it up, now im actually pretty curious what my kid is doing. Pretty sure I haven't seen him get out of 1st gear lol.
Just taught my son this spring on his 65. We just focused on taking off with the clutch which only took 5 min to get the hang of it.
I think I told him to use the clutch at each shift, but never mentioned it again and just let him figure it out. He is now using the clutch to get the revs up in the corners..
Teach him to take off and the rest he will figure out..
My dad would literally yell at me if I didn't click a power shift. "quit blipping the throttle just hold it wide open and shift". By the time I was racing 125b in the 2000s he was telling me to slow down and not jump certain jumps and he didn't need hospital bills.
My dad would get so pissed of if I was "blipping" the throttle
After a couple of ER visits he changed his tune. "were just here to have fun" hahaha
No. Don’t say anything about it either, just teach him it’s to help control rpms and power going to the rear wheel. Transmissions were good enough to never need to use a clutch while shifting for a decade.
In extreme cases like mud races he will figure it out instinctively when the bike won’t shift when he wants it too.

The shit I read on vital sometimes. Use your clutch every time. It’s the right way to ride you goons.
using the clutch most the time = less wear and tear and downtime + cost to fix your tranny. If $ is no concern and you pay someone else to fix your bikes shift away with no clutch.
