a way to explain why rev-matching is important for clutch longivity...lets say a loaded shopping cart was zooming past you and you are thinking about stopping it. dumping the clutch is like standing still and catching the cart by hand. doing so would put unneeded strain on your arm if you keep doing that. however in a rev-matching standpoint, you would run (hence blipping throttle) along side the cart grab the cart (release clutch) and slow yourself WITH the cart down. i really hope this analogy make sense...

Probably the most useful downshifting tutorial on YouTube, learnt a lot from this :)

After watching this, I realize that I don't even know if I revmatch. I think I do it subconsciously. This is bugging me now lol.

This was a great video. I'm a fairly new rider (only in my second season on a bike) and I've been trying to get better at rev matching and down shifting and this video helped me understand the proper motions.
I've been practicing Method 3 on the road without even knowing it!
Ride safe!

Thank you. Out of several short videos I have seen on the art of blipping the throttle when down shifting yours gave the most clear and easy instructions 👍

[Accurize]

Thanks for the video. I finally got it to click for me during my ride today. The small thing you mentioned about completely closing the throttle after the blip made all the difference in the world for me. Thanks again! 🙏👍

Also worth mentioning that the rpm gap between gears becomes progressively larger as you downshift so your throttle blips should too in order to achieve seemlessness.

That's the best video I've seen and adding braking to the advanced method fills a void I've had a problem with. I'll be practicing and using this skill often.

You explained this so well bro. Just bought a 01 GXR 600.. First time rider ✊🏽 appreciate it!

[renostubbs]

Thanks a million Stanley, you made that look so easy, man. We appreciate your skills

I am still waiting on the 31.5 minutes that seems to have been lost in translation.

This is exactly what I am after - great video! I am currently doing a sort of compromise where I: pull clutch, downshift, then ease on a little throttle as I slowly release the clutch. This method seems easy on the engine, but the downside is that it is very slow. I am looking forward to learning to blip and downshift properly 👍. Thanks for the vid 😎

I don't ride and the closest thing I've been on is a 200cc dirt bike lol, but thank you for this (should I decide to start) and what's funny is that the third method seems to me like it would be the most comfortable. I was getting slightly confused with the first two but that third one definitely seemed like one I'd be the most comfortable with. Again experience and speculation are two different things, but thank you for the in depth guide.

[Kweepe]

Thanks for all this tips so i can safely go on the road when i have my own motorcycles

[umloiro]

Nice video man, I'm practicing my rev match for 2 days and had a great time!

[ivanstojcevic]

I am new to riding and this video was so helpful after loads of shit I've seen on youtube. Thank you sir, you taught me rev-matching and downhifting!

[MM-qtgz]

Nice dude. I'm a new rider and so far you've been the best at explaining. Subbed for sure

[ksimplelife]

Looking forward to more of these Moto Classroom!
