While many people have done it with success on their machines...I have worked on far far too many atv and dirtbike engines with ground shift forks and rounded engagement cogs popping out of second gear...for me to see any benefit in not using the clutch. To say it saves wear on the clutch is a foul assesment as well. Plates are cheap and far easier to replace than gears and case splitting.
I liken it to a turn signal on a car. The lever is there but too many dont use it nor can Anybody force them to..but it sure would save a lot of headaches if more did.
Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...
