Blipping the throttle
 

After reading Amanda's thread and having a talk with DarrenSV650S do you blip the throttle?

If so why?

If not why?

I understand about the forcing the engine speed to match wheel speed etc but is it really going to affect the bike that bad?

I dont, dont know why, just never have.

Much smoother down change with the revs matching the road speed. Saves on clutch wear.

Smoother and quicker down changes. Also sounds cool and makes me a riding God.

Re: Blipping the throttle
 

No. CBA'd.

Only cos you're not a riding God........and you can't do it.

Re: Blipping the throttle
 

Yes

Not doing it on a litre twin with knobbly tyres = backing it in even when you don't want to :eek:

You taught me all I know, master:D

PS - that actually is true.

Cause it sounds good lol. It's kinda to the clutch and it's quicker.same I'm cars too.

No, if you are gental, relaxed and careful enough with the clutch I don't find it neccessary ....

Having said that, I think I ride at a lot lowere revs than many ..... many are changing down a gear at 7000 revs .... me, more like 3000 revs .....
