you rev while downshifting to match the revs so make the gears mesh nicer from what I've been told
To clarify my use of the made up term 'clutch braking'...richo said:Blipping is to reduce the engine braking effect.
Erm.. if you like replacing clutches it's a thing of the past. I get a bit slack on the 6 sometimes when I go fishing for engine braking.. on the road I always blip.Chukitova said:When you upgrade to something with a slipper clutch, blipping is a thing of the past.

Yes. I mean no. I disagree. How many clutches have you had to replace from not blipping? I havent had to replace any yet.richo said:Erm.. if you like replacing clutches it's a thing of the past.

I get a certain satisfaction out of hearing the thing wizz up for sure. I haven't blown up a clutch on the 6 yet (however it's not looking happy either). Even if I had blown one though there'd be no way to prove that the damage would have been done by not blipping anyway, so we'll never know before.Chukitova said:Yes. I mean no. I disagree.

Not prematurely at any rate.
Blipping is a habit though. Hard to break. But not needed with a slipper clutch. That was essentially my point. Is fun to mash down through the gears and feel it do it's magic isn't it!
I do all my shifts clutchless at low revs on both bikes, however nearer to redline the difference in engine RPM that the crankshaft needs to go between on a downshift gets a shitton bigger.. if we're talking riding hard then I'm pretty sure clutching it is the done thing.mootavic said:you guys do know that if you do the entire blipping motion you all speak of but just ignore the clutch it works just the same right?
and before someone comes in saying "omg undue wear on dogs" after disassembling one of my MC22 motors after 60k km of clutchless upshifting and downshifting and riding it like a cheap whore, all dogs were in great nick. just dont be a tard and half shift and the undue wear wont happen...
/prepares for another clutchless shifting thread.......
