> [@MPD47](#): > > Should be able to, but there is an electronic cutout which prevents it. no…actually it does do it. Since i’m not familar at all with bikes i was trying to do that during the downshift with no clutch (i’m an idiot)…that obviously doesn’t work. It won’t clutchless shift from 1-2, but it does 2-6. Do bikes do this? ---

sequential dog tooth engagement gear boxes do not require the use of a clutch due to the cut of the dog gears. you should be able to just rip em all. although i am not familiar with kawasakis gear box ---

It has Reverse Gear Box and the Bike needs to be in 1st gear, then i engage the Reverse lever. > [@yeamabu](#): > > one thing that turns me off for looks, the side carry cases. me too, but it looks naked without them too. They literally just pop right off at the click of a button (and a key to unlock them). They grew on me.
