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. |

Re: Blipping the throttle
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.

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

Re: Blipping the throttle
This was discussed last year. A few interesting comments.

Re: Blipping the throttle
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 ..... |
