I've done it.
Sometimes "just cause", sometimes because of a broken clutch . . .
Not very hard, but some skill is required.

The question is, do you think that you are saving fuel by doing it?

I try and shift fast enough so that even though I have released the throttle the engine is still spinning somewhat faster than the disk . . . I think that saves some fuel, not sure though . . . . Quicker time to speed without using more fuel for sure . . . .
