I think you are brilliant! I watched your mod 2 videos, especially on roundabouts and I passed A licence mod 2 with perfect ride, no faults! Thank you for your brilliant videos. Your voice is so calming and professional and I just think your videos are brilliant. The best out there. 👌
Definitely an important technique. If you don't use it, changing down produces very a very jerky ride. Not pleasant. Finally got my full license a month ago (yay!!!) so no longer on the 125. So happy!
Complete new concept to me TBH never heard of it. Thanks will defo try this out. I'm at an age where if I engine brake my chins fire over the handlebars.
Blipping good for extending your chain and sprokets life span. Engine braking is really good but if not in a desperate need to stop quick blipping is very chain friendly, so good on your pocket.
I’ve only covered 150 miles on my bike but funnily enough I only mentioned other day the engine braking I’m not keen on more fierce than a car which I’m used to so might give this a go . Thanks
My bike has loads of torque so the engine braking can be quite aggressive at time, especially coming down from higher speeds so throttle blipping definitely helps in those situations. 🤜🤛
@@MotoEcosse thanks for the help and advice , I may have to wait awhile as I don’t think my gear change whilst blipping will be there just yet. Does it have to be a quick movement hand and gear change? Do believe this will be a help and for a better riding experience.
Thank you so much for explaining, when people talk about it they don’t explain that problem of going straight to the throttle after blipping. I thought you had to but no lol
I been practicing so I’ve clutch in throttle off at the same time then keep holding the clutch and blip and downshift I sometimes hit it right because it sounds so smooth other times I hit it and it makes the engine sound to forceful any tips
Hey mate, I suppose you could as long as your speed matches the gear changes It definitely works better though changing down 1 gear at a time in my opinion. 🤜🤛
It's not essential no. It's up to the rider if they choose to do it. As long as it's done correctly it won't affect the bike in any way. It's not dangerous to do any bike. You can do it on a 1000cc sports bike or a 125cc. Essentially all you're doing is eliminating most of the engine braking to keep the speed of the bike from dropping too much making the downshift smoother. 🤜🤛
I've been riding for over 50 years, and it never occurred to me that people would change down without blipping the throttle. I've always done it automatically, whether I'm braking or not. Do they not teach this in basic training?
Interesting video, conflicting views out there about throttle blipping. Keep em coming Help, cold hands in winter riding, any tips. I wear gloves and inner gloves but hands and in particular thumbs get really cold and it’s spoiling going out. I know they’re really ugly but are over mitts any good I don’t want to spend £200 on heated gloves or heated grips which have got wires all over the place
I also wear gloves and inner gloves. They do keep my hands warm enough, but on those longer rides it's also an issue. You can get really warm winter gloves. I'm not a huge fan of them though. They're so bulky that it can be difficult to use indicators. Another you can try that I find helps with colder winds is surgical gloves. Sounds silly but wind can't penetrate them and your hands tend to sweat a bit which helps keeps your hands warm. You do have to put up with sweaty hands though. 🤜🤛
Best throttle blip I've seen. Thank you!

Thanks, Lynette. I really appreciate that. Congratulations on passing as well. Great job. 🤜🤛
As a learner I always seem to downshift in block where and when should I be using sequential downshift.
Love your videos really helpful.

This is the best video I found to explain the technique! I was doing the same thing with the throttle my first times
I love your motorcycle impressions lol

Yeah I've done that before, Gordon. 🤣😂

Do you shift down as your blipping? Or after you complete the blip

Yeah it's very quick technique. It's exactly like changing down as you normally would but you're just adding a very quick blip.
@@MotoEcosse I will have a go this week hopefully, I’m sure there will be some louder revving going on at some stage 🤪.

This is a helpful vid, I've been practicing my throttle blipping but it's not as smooth as yours.
Practice and timing man. You'll have it perfected in no time. 🤜🤛
Do you use rear brake with the blip or not
Perfect explanation 👍
Your engine when you're demonstrating throttle blipping motion: *WHERE IS THIS FUEL COMING FROM??* 🥴
Love the voice sound effects LOL
Do u let off throttle first
Hi! Is it possible to do rev matching after stepping down 2-3 gears? Or it only works for down 1 gear?
Hey mate, I suppose you could as long as your speed matches the gear changes It definitely works better though changing down 1 gear at a time in my opinion. 🤜🤛
Is it must to do revmatching ,does it affect millage,chain,gearbox. Im using honda unicorn 160cc bike is it dangerous to my motorcycle

Unfortunately not. At least not at my school but I was already doing it as well. 🤜🤛

Thanks Mr Ecosse
Battery operated heated gloves. Ladies merlin ones from sports bike shop. Excellent and no wires.
Isn't heated grips the answer? I've never used them (because never ridden in the dead of winter etc) but I think they must be the way to go.
@@scrumpymanjack - yeah they're great - have your hands as warm as you want all winter.
lol i keep going back on the throttle because i have a milk crate full of groceries slamming against my back lol, also cause im dumb
