  • so what your saying is that if u have it a a high rev i can upshift without using the clutch eventhough i dont have a quickshifter?

  • I guess re-engaging clutch is not a necessary step for downshifting.

  • And this is also how to beat down your gearbox and break shit

  • For down shifting you pretty much just explained rev matching. (for those who didnt catch it)

  • don't break withe two fingers allways tree fingers the last tree you have more sensibility and power break and the first and second in the throtle to control the bike in turns. sory my english if the bike is afinated to the rider the pedal already is good to shift fast but ok you right in that good video bye

  • you need to change your brake fluid...

  • @corngrohlio yes...

  • @rebelonstrike7 There is such thing as the "quick shifter" sure, speed shifting may put additional wear, but the idea is that the wear is small enough for you to be able to do it throughout your bike's life

  • I didn't know you only had to backoff the throttle that much. thanks
