Anyways, I tried it out riding the MX track and have been using it a ton ever since. It downshifts pretty buttery without the clutch coming into berms and what not.
Not sure if that has any practical application in sumo, but I figured I'd share what I read  |
Doesn't work for Sumo as you need to go from 6th to 3rd or 5th to 2nd all at once  |
