When your bike is turned off is it ok to shift without pulling in the clutch or will this damage the bike? I?

Answer 1

I would be concerned why you would want to shift while the bike is off. I am figuring you forgot to put it in nuetral? You can shift a bike while the engine is off but most likely only one gear (1st into 2nd or vice-versa.) it is usually difficult to shift from first to nuetral after the bike is off but it won't neccesarly hurt anything.(the gears are not moving)If your going to park a bike,It is much easier to put the bike in nuetral while the bike is rolling do to the fact there is a safety feature built-in,so one can not start a bike in gear.Always make sure your bike is in nuetral before you turn it off even if you have to ride in a circle a little.

Answer 2

-You can shift with the engine off and not use the clutch.
-There is a little bit of tension on the trani gears, trying to seperate them from each other on the same shaft. Also the gear teeth on different shafts aren't always lined up. That's why when you shift, you need extra pressure on the shift lever and you can feel the trani clunk into another gear. You'll also put a little strain on the shift forks (they move the gears from side to side). If the gear teeth aren't lined up, they need a little extra force to move the gears. If the gears aren't lined up, the shift forks will feel like they're pushing against a brick wall and can bend. They probably wouldn't, cause the gears will eventually find a way to move.
-Using the clutch will help.
-There are two trani shafts in the engine. The countershaft is constantly connected to the rear wheel via the drive chain. The mainshaft is connected to the crankshaft until the clutch is disengaged (pull in the clutch lever).
-When the gears of two different shafts aren't lined up and you try to shift, one shaft has to move. Usually the countershaft won't budge, because the rear wheel won't let it. So the only shaft that can move is the mainshaft. But it won't move unless the clutch disengages or the pistons, (in the cyl) are forced to move against the compression of the motor.
-Pulling in the clutch will allow the mainshaft to move without the cyl compression trying to stop it.
-It'll be easier to shift, if you rock the bike foward and back a tinsy bit. This moves the countershaft and allows the gears of the two shafts to find each other.
-All in all, the gears and shift forks are so strong and with the oil in the engine to help things slide, you' won't cause any damage unless you try to force your bike to shift. Like jam the shift lever without any concern to the trani..
-No force - no problem.

Answer 3

Always need to pull in the clutch, even when the bike is off, it's still metal on metal in the gearbox.

Answer 4

That is the worse time to shift without the clutch, nothing is moving. Sorta like trying to start a car without the starter spindle not rotating.

Answer 5

that is wonderful in case you commonly hit it ideal in spite of the undeniable fact that that is going to in hardship-free words take some cases of neglected shifts to interrupt the transmission. a minimum of with the seize in case you over rev and shift it received't grind the gears and damage the transmission. For a $one hundred bike its no massive deal yet must be intense priced on a extra moderen extra intense priced one.

Answer 6

Using the clutch when the engine's off isn't necessary. That's because there aren't any parts rotating. I'm assuming that you want to shift from/to neutral. JJ

Answer 7

It shouldn't. There is no torque on the unit so no undue stresses are accorded there.

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

As long as the motors not on, it will no hurt it.

Answer 10

no it wont hurt anything
