If you do not use the clutch to shift, there are a couple of parts that will eventually wear to the point of causing the transmission to drop out of gear. Given the cost of clutch replacement or gear replacement, you should always use the clutch. Similarly, you should not downshift (with or without the clutch) to slow the vehicle down. Use the brakes. Brake pad replacement is simple and inexpensive on most motorcycles.)
