Re: Shifting????
YES FTW! You have to dis-engage the clutch to correctly shift into all gears.
Re: Shifting????
Yes... and no... I mean, with a properly functioning transmission you can shift from 2nd through 6th and back down without using a clutch. It's just all about timing, and with a motorcycle it's easy to do without grinding gears. I do it from time to time on my FZR. But the issue is, you DO need the clutch to go 1st to 2nd, or at least that's what I've found. It didn't want to easily work for me and for the sake of my transmission, I didn't try to force it. So YES, you can shift without your clutch. Is it recommended? No, I suppose not.

Re: Shifting????
It is certainly not recommended. The FZR has enough issues with people using the clutch...
