Ok, so I tried no clutch shifting on my Vulcan the other day and found that it can't be done. Not sure why, but the shift lever simply won't move until the clutch is pulled in. I tried it under throttle, coasting, light throttle, in different gears, up/down, nothing doing. I'm not sure why this might be. I remember when I was taking the MSF course I frequently shifted the Nighthawk 250s they used without the clutch by accident and the bike didn't seem to mind. Not sure why my Vulcan is different, any thoughts?
