I am about 50/50 clutchless up changes. In the higher gears [well above 3rd] and if I am on a mission I will go clutchless. Low gears and down shifts always with clutch.

To be honest, any clutch pain comes from real slow town riding, not belting through the box, so the main thing for me is to make sure the levers are set to suit you. I have mine set very low, but I am a lanky b8stard, and its what is comfortable for me

Sometimes use clutchless on the drag strp, but TBH on the street I'd rather be sure its properly in gear and not going to pop out again as I'm trying to get the power on.

Wouldn't mind trying out a quickshifter, though....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
