It get's harder the more you think about it. 🤣

I got my first bike 3 days ago and I’ve been rev matching since my first ride lol. I do daily drive a manual so that may be why I’m a little more comfortable doing it

[bwxmoto]

Doing it while braking hard is a little more difficult. Still trying to get that smooth while also using brakes, maybe you could make a video about that? ✌

I had to explain to my girlfriend that I wasn't trying to show off when I'm revving up when I'm slowing down. She said who am I showing off to when she's riding on the back

[horkus_pronkus]

just bought a new bike, didn't even realize i was supposed to be doing this. it feels smooth as hell, great vid

[Mrmoocows]

Did this on accident during my MSF course and the instructor asked me who taught me to do that.

i've been riding for about 3 months now and rev matching has definitely saved the day on multiple occasions. i used to hold in the clutch and feel for my deceleration and match that with the appropriate gear but once i got the hang of it matching, it was a game changer. especially now that i'm actually going past 50mph

[legendarycinematics]

It’s literally so easy it took me a good 3 tries to figure it out and makes you feel like a pro

Didn't even know what Rev Matching is, but doing it all the time. Seems to me most natural.

[frankolwenda]

I love rev matching. So fun, and also, the pops my exhaust makes sometimes just from the action

[phased]

As someone who rev matches a car atleast, with a bike i was rev matching literally within less than 10 minutes, on the 3rd road. I really dont understand any fear about it tbh, your clutch is in when youre blipping, it aint gonna go anywhere

Edit: just to add, I am by no means an advanced rider either. I started riding like a week ago. It's just that the technique is really not tenichal at all

[TevakiHansen-Matepi]

Absolutely awesome mate, took all my worries away. I'm gonna practice this tomorrow :)

[MCTeck]

I have been rev matching for 55 yrs! I have doing it so long, that It happens with no thought. I also rev match my truck with manual tansmission.

[azscout]

Great video! I will start practicing. Thank you.

[MrThecyrille]

Rev matching is useful on older bikes that don’t have a slipper clutch because down shifting with the engine at low rpm can lock up your rear wheel and slippper clutches are designed for that not to happen.

[stefanhansen]

Great demonstration! Much appreciated!

[ysmangel]

Appreciate this video! I tried it in a parking lot and got it a few times and could tell a major difference, but I was definitely nervous I might lunge my bike and fall and damage it. Thanks for showing that it's kind of a fool proof skill that's not gonna send you flying😂

[kunaii_cs]

If your bike doesn't have a slipper clutch and you miss time your rev match, it upsets the bike especially at high speed. Practice and nail it down as much as you can.

To me downshifting the beginning way is more dangerous. If you are fully relying on yourself to let out the clutch slowly, what if you accidentally let it out too fast? That is what can cause your tire to lose traction is if it suddenly increases the RPM. At least giving it any amount. Of throttle to rev match will match the rpm to the wheel closer than just using the clutch. I remember when I was a beginner I downshifted in a slight turn while coming to a stop, I let out the clutch too fast (no rev match) and I felt the rear tire skip. I didn’t almost wreck or anything but as a beginner it definitely scared me. It took me one day of practicing to get a consistent smooth rev match. It definitely isn’t as hard as it sounds! Think of it as all one motion instead of individual steps.
