I have been able to do it in the higher gears of every bike I have ever owned without a significant jerk but not so with the GZ. Don't know why but it just doesn't work very good.

The "technique" is to put significant pressure on the shifter while accelerating. When you let off the gas, it "falls" into the next gear without the clutch. On the GZ, it has always caused a significant jerk/clunk for me. Regardless of the bike, this is NOT a good thing to do from 1st to 2nd, because of crossing neutral.
