Is it bad to shift a dirt bike without using the clutch?



here there is a clutch, but if i shift without it when the rpm's are low, can that be bad?

it'll be fine, do it your way
sometimes
No. In fact, the "pros" don't use the clutch but to get started. Matching gears in a syncromesh trans is the way to go.
Nope a clutch is like an appendix...totally unnecessary.
sometimes
Yes you should use the clutch unless you have the money to rebuild your bike every 100 hrs of riding or so. Th other guy is right the pros don't always use the clutch as to not lose secs. in a race. They also have factory sponsors that allow them to have the bike rebuilt after each race, something I am sure your not prepared to do. Good luck and use the clutch.
Look unless you are (use the clutch)prepared to spend a lot of money or learn (use the clutch)how to rebuild trans/motors/clutches etc use the dang clutch. If you're losing a race by "SECONDS" ...trust me it's not the clutch that's (use the clutch)causing it. It's horsepower, skill, experience, weight, fuel, engine size, track, climate or a (use the clutch)hundred other things. I raced for about 15 years and knew guys that didn't eat the day of the race cause they didn't want to (use the clutch)have any extra weight. STUPID! Now their bike had energy but they didn't. By the way did I tell you to USE the CLUTCH!
Safe and Happy riding dude!
