Unless I am driving hard I rarely use the clutch for up gear changing, except for first to second gear, and have done so on every bike I've had - not had any problems from it in 34 years.

The ratios on my 6 speed box are so close together, it is difficult to make a crunchy change even if you try!!

Give it a go -- with a bit of practice I have found that even clutchless down changes under gentle-around-the-town-driving conditions are OK. Or am I just being a lazy sod??
