Downshifting on a motorcycle can be done with or without rev matching. Here's how to do it:
1. Downshifting without rev matching
1.Roll off throttle use brakes to slow down the bike
2. Pull in the clutch lever to disengage the engine from the transmission.
3.Use your left foot to press down on the gear shifter to shift to a lower gear.
4. Release the clutch lever gradually while applying throttle smoothly to match the engine speed with the lower gear.
- This method can cause more abrupt engine braking and may lead to rear wheel lock-up if not done carefully.
2.Downshifting with rev matching
1. Pull in the clutch lever to disengage the engine from the transmission.
2.Blip the throttle (quickly increase engine speed) while downshifting to match the engine speed with the lower gear.
3. Simultaneously, use your left foot to press down on the gear shifter to shift to a lower gear
4.Release the clutch lever gradually while maintaining throttle input to smoothly engage the lower gear.
- Rev matching helps to reduce engine braking and provides smoother downshifts, preserving traction and stability.
Practice is key to mastering both techniques, and it's important to downshift smoothly to maintain control and stability of the motorcycle, especially in corners or during deceleration.
