Shifting a motorcycle made for racing is very similar to shifting a street motorcycle. The only difference is some racing motorcycles may have a slipper clutch and/ or a quicker shifter.
The common way to upshift on a track motorcycle is clutchless. To do this, when you are at the rpm range you want to shift up, you preload the shifter lever with a bit of pressure from your foot and then decrease the gas a little. It should bump into the next gear and then you proceed to pin the gas again.
On down shifting, there are two techniques, and it really depends if you have a slipper clutch or not.
To down shift without a slipper clutch:
Pull in clutch, give momentary spurt of throttle to match theoretical rpms of next lower gear, and release the clutch quickly. Consequence of not burping throttle to next rpm is back wheel chatter while engine is forced to match rpms itself. Back wheel may even lock causing a skid. Another easier technique, commonly used by street riders, but not on the track due to it being much slower, is to let the clutch out slowly after shifting.
To down shift with a slipper clutch:
Pull in shift level, down shift, release shift lever. If rpms are out of whack, slipper clutch will let clutch slip until they are matched..
