Chain tension, oil condition and quantity all affect gear change.


The way I do it is to lightly press down just to take the slop out and preload it a little bit, then as I pull the clutch and blip the throttle, when the revs match you'll feel it slip in nicely (fnarr)

IMO anything that gives big bangs and clunks from the engine aint good for it!

Edit: same on the upshifts, light pressure on it, when the load on it is rght itll pretty much put itself in gear, with power going through the gearbox it won't come out of gear easily. Doesn't matter if you use the clutch or not like this really.
