Google translator.
I do not believe that there was no such question yet, but I do not find. Is it very dangerous in TTR to change gears without a clutch? There are 6 gears, close to each other as in motocross and that's where you usually ride and nothing breaks down.
Best regards and thank you.

Motor bike gear boxes are different to cars. As long as there is no load present, like off the throttle, bikes change gears the same with the clutch pulled in or not. To be causing damage you would feel or hear crunching or resistance of some kind.

Having said that I use the clutch 99% of the time.

I often change up the gears without the clutch, but find changing down without it more difficult to do smoothly.

Thank you. So you can do it anyway. Situations in the field are different.
