How do you manipulate the front brake and blip the throttle at the same time? Doesn't that mean your braking time will be much slower because you have to first pullin the clutch, then shift down, then blip the throttle and find time to apply the brakes? Isn't slowly and smoothly letting out the clutch just as effective for braking?
I might also add this has real world needs if your a wet weather rider. It keeps you from tossing the bike around if you have to stop fast. It will keep the bike from locking up the rear tire, and making the front take a nose dive. All which leaves you with no control but the object that your about eat, cause thats where your looking. Which is rule number one, Never look where you don't want to go! You can practice this. Just look where you want to be and you will go there!
@luq080290 You pull the clutch in, Then down shift. While your clutch is still in blip the throttle then release the clutch. This all happens pretty fast, but you will get the hang of it. There are other uses for it as well that you learn over time.
I learned to rear wheel steer over time doing this. But it requires you to use engine braking and blipping the throttle in reverse order from this video. Its learned in flat tracking which always you to spin up the rear wheel to point the bike.
Everything before 3:12 and after 3:20 is a waste of time. Bottom line: when the rider changes down a gear the engine speed needs to be higher to match the speed the wheels are turning, even when breaking they don't match exactly, blipping the throttle raises the engine RPM while the clutch is out so when the clutch is re-engaged the engine RPM is correct for the wheel RPM. This prevents the bike becoming unsettled or in extreme cases prevents the rear chattering or locking.
why would you do this when you down shift your rpms go up anyway i dont understand can someone explain to me how this helps a down shift i would imagine it would make it worse
@thorfoxxx I'm not motorcycle expert but. If you dont blip the throttle, your rpm's will drop as you're pulling in the clutch to down shift, whereas if you blip the throttle you keep your rpms 'stable' as you downshift
@thorfoxxx this is not really explained very well. For example you blip the throttle mainly so you can downshift very hard and quickly without locking up the rear. If your coming into a very hard corner you wanna be in first gear. You blip the throttle downshifting just before you let out the clutch. This is only useful when braking and downshifting very hard.
@thorfoxxx You're correct, the rpms will shoot up when u downshift BUT the problem is that the engine and transmission speeds aren't matched. By not blipping the throttle u will FORCE the engine and transmission to re-engage causing the vehicle to jerk around which will in turn shift the weight of the vehicle suddenly. This is very dangerous in any situation because the sudden deceleration can cause a quick loss of control. By blipping the throttle the vehicle prevents such unwanted movement.
You blip it while the clutch is disengaged (i.e. while the clutch is pulled in) and this means that the engine revs go up. For argument sake, if the bike speed is the same, and a lower gear is slected, the revs will increase. If the engine is at idle (because the clutch is in and thottle off) , and you let the clutch out, then the engine will be speeded up by the back wheel working through the gearbox.
The engine will cause drag on the rear wheel and cause it to skid.
When you blip the throttle, then the back wheel does't have to speed the engine up any more, because tehy are both at close to teh same speed already.
ithanx for posting this, my back end came out big style the other day, i was blipping the throttle but obviousy after watching this my revs werent matched up, im pretty new to road bikes althaugh ive riden moto-x since i was a young boy, thanx
@taffgriff143 Rev-matching (blipping the throttle) has nothing to do with what type of bike you're riding. It's just a manual transmission thing. If you drive a manual car, you should be rev-matching on your downshifts as well. People that don't do it are very sloppy when downshifting. It's one of the things that if not learned and not done every single time, imo, is the reason most people fail and suck at operating manual transmissions.
@angelfuree it has everything to do with the type of bike ur riding!!!!!!! the more power u have underneath ur arse the more likely it is to happen when changing down at high revs!!! i have riden bikes for years and never had this problem with smaller bikes, bikes 600cc and above will always do this at high rev change downs unless u blip the throttle, by the way i ride a maxed up 2009 r6 and a 2010 zx-10, i should know this by now!!
@taffgriff143 Sorry, you're wrong. It has nothing to do w/ the bike you're riding. It has everything to do with the difference in RPM between your current gear and the one you'll be landing at when downshifting. You can lock up your wheel on a 250 if you downshift abruptly without rev-matching.

Do u blip while you downshift or after you downshift, right before you let out the clutch?
JaygynandMattie 2 years ago
just make sure you blip it before you let out the clutch, try it... as u get better you get smoother and quicker.
