Is it me
![]() If I've been riding reasonably quick (I'm no knee down race expert) I find when breaking quite heavily and down shifting the back end locks up. I'm not talking major skids down the road but more the rear wheel momentarily locking up enough to make the back end of the bike twitch about. I figure I'm down changing to soon after riding an in line four for the last few years, just wondered if anyone else had similar experiences. |

Give the throttle a quick flick when changing to stop the lock up's when going for change down at speed.

Yes blipping the throttle helps if your comfortable doing it. Yes you prob are shifting down too early. Just need to adapt to the v-twin. Also let out the clutch smoothly.

Brakes first, then choose the correct gear for the speed!

Yeah you can get away without blipping if your letting out of the clutch is smoooooth! You cant just let it fly out of your hand on a Vee twin mate,it can be similar to someone throwing an anvil off the back of the bike!

Therefore, why would you want to throw it off ?? Also, do you know if anvils are bike specific ? Or is is just a generic anvil that is required ?? ![]() ![]() ![]()

I do this all the time at the mo - only been riding the sv 2 weeks. Noticed it most in the wet. As the guys say I have found easier on the clutch stops it. Haven't got the hang of blipping yet.
Be careful in the wet, I went down two gears as some bird in a cage pulled out without checking, no indicators ![]() ![]() |

I used to do this a lot when I first started riding the SV. It happens a lot less now, I think you just get used to the bike. Kinda like it now anyway
