@carlcarlssen4299 17 күн бұрын

There are 2 answers to that question. 1) IF emergency stopping, forget everything about shifting and doesnt matter what gear youre on, pull the clutch in and apply 50/50 pressure to both back brake and front brake. Make sure you use BOTH brakes, and at the same time and dont jam on them or youll wreck yourself. And 2) For controlled ,everyday proper way of stopping, you SHOULD always downshift first, as downshifting on its own will start to slow you down. Obviously you have to close the throttle a little and everytime you downshift and then try to rev match (open again the throttle a little to match the lower gear's "higher" rpm). And so you need to downshift till you get to 1st and 1st will give you so much stopping torque that it feels natural but you can also stay at 2nd and then just pull in clutch and then brake to a complete stop, THEN you can go to first once stopped. But under normal conditions you should always downshift to 1st ideally and all of this engine braking caused by downshifting, can be further exemplified by applying lightly the brakes too as your down shifting for a quicker stop. But for example when you have impatient cars behind you tailgaiting you and you all come to a stop, I would view that as an emergency stop and you can just hold in clutch and start braking. Sorry for so long of a message but remember that if you use engine braking aka downshifting, always tap the brakes very lightly so that your tail light goes on and cars behind you can see you. VERY important.

@Truhsty Ай бұрын

THIS is what I’ve been looking for. When coming to a stop, should I hold down the clutch together with my brakes as I come to a stop in 1st gear ? Or should I come to a stop completely and then pull in the clutch ? That’s been confusing me

Does the autoblipper work so well that if you tap your foot quick enough your gear indicator reads like you skipped a gear? At like 10:15, you go down to 4th from 6th & 5th is never seen. It looks like an h pattern shift, but bikes have sequential boxes. Basically I’m asking is the autoblipper just that good & sensitive to your inputs or have you figured telepathy with your bike & you just think of a gear & a single input from your foot puts it in the desired gear?🤣

First gear needs the clutch to engage, all the other gears can shift without using the clutch. Some bikes have quick up/dn and others only have up. When you clutch less shift, the QS momentarily cuts power to the engine to shift smoothly into gear.
