    Outstanding instructional video. I started practicing rev matching with no front brake just to get the throttle,clutch snd shifter timing in sync. When I got comfortable with that series of motions I started rev matching and using the front brake. It was frustrating at first but I I began to acquire the feel for it and with the SV650 strong engine braking , rev matching and front brake application makes me feel I have even more control over the bike plus it is fun :)

    I had to practice this years ago when I watched your video on my semi-auto Honda Wave Dash 110cc for the sake of comfort. Downshifting was comically harsh for it, rev-matching solved made most of the experience smoother. (Note for anyone wondering: semi-autos have no clutch lever, but has a shifter. Holding the shifter down essentially was equivalent to pulling the clutch lever)
    Due to the habit forming and carrying over to my new bike, still a small CC, GSX S150, you've practically saved my life many times over. Thank you Eddie.

    Hey man - you say to let the clutch out slowly always, but it looks like you’re letting it out pretty fast when you’re rev matching….is the clutch all the way out when you finish blipping the throttle, or is it only partially out and you continue to let it out more slowly after the blip?

    I really like this video explaining rev matching it's a great and clear description. What is the purpose of engine braking is from a performance standpoint? I understand rev matching to drop gears into a corner to avoid upsetting the bike's balance or spinning the rear wheel. But since engine braking can only work on the rear wheel how can using it actually improve deceleration performance over brakes alone?

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  3 года назад

    Yeah, rev-matching is most satisfying. One thing I never do though, is clutchless up-shifting. Sure, it's a good thing to know about and some practice at it really pays off when you break a clutch cable and have to get home, but I've always been wary of it in normal useage.
    A PO of one of my bikes was a clutchless changer, unknown to me, and it wasn't long before the bike started jumping out of 2nd gear on acceleration. Eventual stripping of the gearbox revealed the dogs on 2nd had been rounded off and the other gears didn't look too good either.

    Do you have a video on coping with high wind?
    I got my first taste of terrifying high winds yesterday and it was insane. I was going down a road, and every time I passed the side streets I was getting pushed by wind, and one of them was a really long straight road and when I passed that one, it felt like I got slammed by a wave or something. It literally felt like I almost got pushed over!
    How do you cope with that? I had to get home, so I just slowed down and tried to be vigilant and stay relaxed. I didn't wanna tense up and make things worse, but it felt like someone kept yanking my bars while also riding with two flat tires... super sketchy! I never realized that wind could be so dangerous or scary! Lesson learned. New respect found.
    Thanks! Great video as always!

      Ride in the middle of the lane and be ready to push the handgrip in the direction of the wind to stay straight. So if wind is coming from the left, push left to keep on a straight path.

      @@MotoJitsu So kinda countersteer into it?
      I wasn't sure if it was one of those 'let the bike do its thing' situations, or a 'take control and do ---' situations. I know it took me a while to get used to tar snakes and ridges, just relaxing and let the bike wobble and steer itself... but this wind was crazy and I'm not gonna lie... I kinda got panicky and that's what scares me the most.
      I can't really practice riding in the wind like that, but I'll definitely keep it in mind, and try to stay calm next time.

Like you said, I do it on the street not just to practice technique, but because it's fun, sounds awesome, and makes me feel like a MOTOGP hero.

    In 1967 my mom converted a 1950 Ford flathead V8 school bus into a camper. Four speed with no syncros! She had to rev match every shift, up & down. (AKA double-clutching) In a car/truck you use neutral between each gear change (which you can't do on a sequential m/c gearbox).

    I went out today for a few hours and tried the 3 things you mentioned in the video.
    I got scared with the clutchless shifting, because after I got it down, first and second gear would always still give me a jolt when it shifted (and also sometimes go into neutral), not sure why, maybe I was pushing up on the shifter too much. Also got this horrible grinding noise at one point (only lasted like 1 second), but that only happened once. After a while it worked well but everyonce in a while the bike will give me a jolt, or not go into gear like its supposed to. So not sure if I'm doing this one wrong or if my bike is just bad at it.
    The second thing was the rev matching. When you actually pull that off for the first time it sounds so cool, and its so smooth.
    I never actually got to try the other way of downshifting, but I'll definitely give it a shot.
    One thing I have to ask is: How hard is it to damage the transmission? My bike is still under warranty, but I feel like alot of the shifting I'm doing is hard on it, as I'm new and my shifting isn't very smooth so I often get jolted back and forth alot, and ontop of that I'm a bigger guy (290lbs) riding an r3.

      All depends on how you're doing it...if you just slam the gear in or stop down, you may cause some damage but if you're doing it right, not much at all. 290 on a R3? That's just your suspension that's getting worked. You're welcome!

    I don’t see it ass blipping esc but this makes sense. I look at it like I’m killing the engine brake by bringing up the rpm before coming off the clutch. If I’m turning in hard and I can get tell the engine brake would cause me to low side because im already in a low gear, I’ll rev it and release or I’ll up shift so I don’t have to rev it so much if I don’t need to power out. If powering out of the corner, I’d rather leave it in low gear and rev it hard to keep from engine braking. (Rev match harder) Because when I’m done slowing down real hard while in to the turn, Being I’m about to need to take off as hard as I can without low siding while powering out of the turn. So I rev it hard to get up 9k, drop the clutch still in front brake into corner hard, (30mph let’s say) and I come off everything and roll as same time throttle hard 1st gear, 2nd gear full throttle, as I’m straightening up on out of the corner. Idk i feel like when I’m rev matching I feel like I’m actually reducing engine brakIng. Is all.
