    Power shifting is when you "stab" the clutch during a shift.

    Some Suzuki's, Kawasaki's, Rotax's and some Yamaha's have more neutrals then gears under full throttle. (2-3 & 4 wheelers)

    (Honda's for the most part have excellent transmissions) Across the board.

    If you want to go "full auto"

    Use a very light trans oil, like Torco MTF or other. pours like water.

    Polish the shift shafts, gears, back cut the gears if needed & cryo everything if possible.

    Then you will have a "True automatic" for the most part. Change the trans. fluid every time you ride.

    The down shifts are harder on the trans. then the up shifts because of chain slop.

    I have shifted with out the clutch many times wide open throttle drag racing with 2 stroke motors with no ill affects. Mostly cause my foot was faster than my hand and I needed the next gear.

    After you have done it a few times at full throttle it is not so scary but the clutch has its purpose for different situations.
