No clutch downshift with Quick Shifter?

Have been told that this is not possible but trust me it is. I can smoothly shift back down through the cogs to 2nd with no clutch at varying speeds. Anyone else do this?

Cheers Rusty

 

yeah, but there's no real need to do it on a bike like this, on the street....on an MX bike, sure, all the time....I upshift the VFR all the time without the clutch, and can't say i haven't downshifted it in the upper gears, but it's rough on the hardware if you don't hit it just right

 

No it's different to a race bash & replace, what I am actually saying is that it is not at all rough with the QS even though it is a PUSH unit it appears to work in both directions. If it was a harsh shift I wouldn't be doing it. It's like having paddles at your foot. Weird huh!

 

Since clutchless downshifting without a QS is possible, why shouldn't it with one?

 

I think you are missing the point I am trying to make, I don't have to time it or blip, just shift, no banging, smooth as an auto.
