So what was the difference of downshifting and blip? Downshifting was just the clutch and shifting down and blip was rev matching and shifting down?

Yer you really want to be getting down the gears as you slow, changing to first as you are about to stop. As you say a stall is a inconvenience for people behind (meh not that big an issue) the bigger issue is not being in the right gear to pull away quick or people not anticipating you stalling will rear-end you. Best of luck with the practise.

Riding is so much fun when you master blipping.

This makes so much sense when you daily drive a manual. It's just like rev matching. Great video!

Recently got my first bike and needed this!

Thanks a lot for this video. I had trouble learning how to downshift cause i got a 50cc and a high rpm exhaust so it was a little tricky but thanks to your explanation of rev matching its super simple. thanks!

This video helped alot! Been riding for a week now and happy to annocunce that I can pretty perfectly throttle Blip. Couldnt be happier how fast I picked it up. Was hard at first but after a 2 hours of practice I got it!!!

Taking classes soon and as a noob I got to say this is a great video. I learned a lot, and have a few new question I wanna ask my instructor. Well done mate.

Hey, great video, thank you for explaining how to downshift, I have no problem with upshifting gears, but when it comes to downshift it is another story, I'll try to practice as you explained :)

This is some of the best riding I've seen! I got my first 125 2 days ago and my downshifting is a bit shit haha, this is the clearest learning ever!

I made the mistake on my 125 of only blip shifting so when it came to do my big bike test i wasnt used to blipping I had to learn the proper way really fast lol Edit also that backwards wide angle on the 360 is amazing for teaching people stuff like this! i wish this had been around on bikers channels before!

Excellent camera angle, very helpful, thanks.

i didnt actually expect to learn from a youtube video, thanks so much for teaching how to blip downshift and i like the little pops it does sometimes

I get it though, when I was a noob I never rev matched and my down shifts weren't exactly great but the longer you ride the better you get. Even I explain things as being easy like a u-turn for example and to some people that could be their weak point, not to make them feel bad or anything but just because once you practice them for a while it will become very easy.

Great video and does make sense, I'm just about to get my first bike

For me "clutch engine braking" where you slowly release the clutch as tyou downshift was intuitive and took to it very naturally. This allows one to have his right hand over the front brake and regulate the brake pressure or emergency brake with no delay if needed. Added bonus, your rear brake light is on so no one runs into the back of you without having to learn to use the rear brake to that effect. I also rev-match on occasion but only whenever I feel the occasion asks for it. I generally like to go a little deeper into the "braking zone" and so engine braking alone won't cut it so having my hand on the front brake aiding is necessary, I feel people rev-matching and relying heavily on engine braking tend to let off the throttle too early for my liking.

Your bike always sounds so great. I think in buying it from you when your done

This is a perfect video,I will practice this

Great video. Whatever is blip, but it's the same like in cars. While gently releasing the clutch pedal at the same time you gently add gas. Of course this is easy when changing gears up, reducing gears on the other hand is a tricky one and needs practice - and that practice is applied to every car/motorcycle because every vehicle has got other ,,feeling''.

Excellent tutorial -- thank you!

on a straight nice road it's a nice thing to do. On a downward steep gradient, aproaching a tight hairpin it's a must, otherwise the backwheel will slip and might lead to a crash. That's the part I am still struggling with, bliping to revmatch while front braking smoothly.

Thank you!

@@Fee.1 they are supposed to stop the rear wheel locking up when you down shift. If for example you don't match the revs with a blip on the down shift, the clutch will slip allowing the rear wheel to rotate with the road speed rather than the new engine speed. Once the road speed matches the engine speed, the clutch plates will stop slipping.

Great video, it took me an few hours before it got it, as you mentioned getting the rev's right for going from 2nd to 1st can be a bit difficult on 125, I also recently learnt to do clutchless upshifts, is the re any other techniques you would suggest to learn?

Perfect explanation.

Divvy looking sickkk. I am waiting to get paid so I can do a proper service on my bike, not riden in LONG cos of COVID. Cos I learnt to drive first, I learnt to rev-match so I can sorta apply this to motorbikes, I use to change gear on my 125 sometimes without the clutch bad but fun. So similar going down too.

Also make sure to pull in the clutch all the way, because if you don't then the clutch plates will ware out quickly

@Kid574

3 жыл бұрын

In what instance? If you mean while shifting (either up or down) it doesn't really make any difference as they slip for such a short amount of time. Oil bath clutches (and dry cluthces to an extent) are designed to slip for a bit as most of the heat is absorbed and dissipated very quickly by the oil. If you're stopped at a stop sign / red light / whatever it's always a good idea to put the bike in neutral as even with the lever all the way in you still get some slipping due to the oil thickening in between the clutch plates and causing drag

I both blip and don't blip, I do tend to be a late braker and heavy on the engine braking but with progressive front brake also I am a 2 finger braker so I can control the throttle and brake at the same time. I also tend hover my foot over the brake when cornering aggressively in case I need to settle the bike mid turn.

I found that once I nailed the smooth downshifts by blipping the throttle, the same motion makes for *buttery* smooth clutchless downshifts. No jerking or jolting to be seen!

In this case, it sounds like you are trying to blip at too low of a speed, you really only need to blip when you are using a lot of engine braking, where there would be a big gap in revs between the gears. At lower speeds, you will find standard downshifting smoother.

Interesting thing that I never knew because I always owned Kawasakis is that Kawasaki is the only motorcycle manufacturer that has a positive neutral mechanism. When fully stopped any Kawasaki will ALWAYS find neutral. Not so on any other bike.

The playlist I have made has helped get 100s on the road, I hope they help you along the way. 😀

i had a question when upshifting, is it ok to pull the clutch in just a bit while applying pressure to the shift lever so the bike can slip into the next gear or is it necessary to pull the clutch completely in and then shift ?

Do you blip as you are shifting down or slightly after shifting, but before letting off the clutch?

So you do roll off the throttle right before the blip?

Do you need to blip even if you have a slipper clutch?

Do I have to let off the throttle when down shifting and getting ready for the blip?

Do you brake with one or two fingers when downshifting?

do you have to blip shift in order to engine brake?

Bro how to u turn while on 1st gear and how to take off from an hill too
