I have used a MIL system for a few sesons now (Suzi GSX-R in the car) and while it has a fair bit of electronics and S/W to contol the shifts, I use it completely clutchless for up shifts and down shifts. This engine is kicking out some serious power and has shedloads of grip, much worse situation than a bike, dog wise. We have been amazed at the lack of damage at the end of the season. I think the fact that the changes are made in, approx, 25 thousands of a sec, all helps. Much worse to engage the dogs slowly, IMHO.

Rgds, Rob
