I know the clutches are dry and this makes me think set up might be different?

Thanks again for the input, guys.

I recently had a clutch master cylinder leak so tried to ride doing clutchless up changes as much as possible.

No need to be riding flat out or anything like that. Just ride normally, when your ready to change up, wind the throttle of a tad as you apply pressure with boot to change gear. Next gear drops in and away you go. key is just reducing the rev's prior to the upchange. This reduces the loading on the gearbox and will allow a clean change.

Only works on up changes.
