I am in the US right now, far from my bike in France and was wondering if our bike has a shiffter?

Up and down gears?

I might have translated too quickly from French

My idea is not to apply clutch to change gears

You can change gear without the clutch but you have to synchronise the input and output speeds in the gearbox.

Make sense.

And how do I do that ?

Badaboum is referring to a quick shifter, I believe.

It momentarily cuts the power during a clutchless gear change.

I just use the clutch. Works for me.

Ditto, but a quick shifter is a handy accessory to have on a bike.

wahoo

So it's not available on our bike directly fitted by Kawa.. shame

300€ is too much for me for quick shiffting

Thanks for the info

Just close the throttle when shifting up.
If you are quick you don't need the clutch except for 1st to 2nd.
My be best to practice on a smaller bike first though  :mfr_lol:
