k so I just want to clarify that it is ok on my 05 YFZ to not use the clutch when shifting after first. Is this true? Does it wear on the clutch at all. Because I know since ill be racing, I will start in second and then want a quick shift to third.
let me know
thanks guys

You'll be fine. I just cut the gas a hair as I hit the shifter.

^same here

You have a wet clutch so you are perfectly fine shifting without using the clutch. Just don't jam it in gear. You have to let off the gas a lil bit and just click it up. As far as downshifting it can be done too. It takes a lil more practice though.
