Another key point to make is that it is much safer. If you need to downshift in a corner in an emergency and don’t know how to match RPM’s then you risk disrupting traction to your rear tire.
I had no idea this was a thing people didn’t know how to do so glad I’ve been riding since young it’s made my learning curve for street riding much smaller as far as riding itself safety and rules are still being worked on haha
I’ve only been riding for a week now and I’m on a ninja 400 I’ve seen this technique and I do want to practice it somewhere safe because I’ve heard if done wrong bike will jerk you forward. Me being new to this amazing world on two wheels is so much fun but I came across one of short video a few weeks back and the way you demonstrate and explain verbally, and visually have helped out along way. Keep it up. 👍
That’s a great bike to start on! Just keep practicing you’ll get it down. It just has be done really quickly, and thanks! I try to make these videos easy to understand and provide a lot of visuals for viewer, I’m glad you’re finding value out of them!
Yo fam. I did it while I was getting off on the freeway and entering the off ramp I was in 5 down shift and rev. And went smooth and so on so for by the time I hit 2 I could of gonna a little slower because I can hear the rpm being high but I was excited that I was able to do it and have a smoother experience in higher gear shifting down. Good looking everyone and lol was riding to work this morning and this guy on a GSX-R600 started riding the damn tank and it’s 5am in the morning lol also damn witness the speed and power today of the bike I thought I was fast but dang! Enjoy the ride out there where ever your reading this from. ✌️
I learned early on this is a much better way to down shift. Definitely if ur needing to stop fast. Safer in leaned gear change. It's actually shocking how many people don't do this.
Thank you I was on the highway (I’m a new rider) and went to downshift and didn’t rev and I bounced forward my rear wheel started locking up I got scared but stayed calm and held in the clutch and I was good. But good to know this thank you!!!
You can rev match with out matching the speed of next gear what i mean if iam in 4th gear speed i can down shift to 3 rd gear without bringing the speed to the 3rd gear
Basically. I think about it as three steps: 1. Pressure on the shifter 2. Pull in the clutch AND close the throttle at the same time 3. Release the clutch AND blip at once You only need to pull the clutch as far as it takes for it to click into the lower gear. Once you hear/feel that click, on to step 3.
You only really need to rev match if you're dropping into a lower gear to accelerate or to engine brake hard. If you're more of a chill rider, it might never come up (especially if your bike has a slipper clutch).
You only need to do it on the street if you want to drop gears quick and maintain that speed, that's all you need it for mostly. Takes timing but it's about .5s between clutch gear throttle clutch
I've ridden dirt bikes and some street bikes, but my experience is limited. My daughter just got a 2022 ninja 400 this year and started riding. She was able to start rev matching pretty well after about a month
@@spacetimeworm it's like less than half a second between all, clutch-blip-gear-clutch to go into a lower gear. Hell if you want to try this one it's easy, apply alittle pressure to the shifter either going up or down. Going down blip the throttle doing up cut the power alittle ... and you just done a clutchless shift 😅
People as long as you know what do just be easy until you catch your own rythem i had a 1983 Gpz 750 1100 and 550 in the year 1983 first big bike ate everything on the highway until 1986 Cop the GSXR 750 once again smoke everything on the highway
It's an all at once sort of thing, you grab the clutch, blip a bit while downshifting and then release the clutch, entire thing doesn't even take half a sec.
I can’t be the only one who thought the first one sounded better than the second one right just getting into motorcycles trying to find out how to correctly downshift everyone wants to blip the throttle, but it just sounds worse and I wanna know how to do it correctly
Haven't mastered that yet..or even rev matching while holding the front brake. I use the rear to maintain deceleration for the momentary release of the front brake
I use this method when I'm down shifting on the highway or at high speeds. 30ish and under I use the clutch to downshift. I've gotten good clutchless downshifting while using the front brake at the same time as well...without any major lugging or lurching due to unintentional brake application.
@briangiven7399 to do clutchless just apply the tiniest bit of pressure down and barely blip the throttle, it's stupid easy, going up just apply pressure up on the gear and close the throttle, it'll pop right in. . . You can do it 1st to 6th and vice versa
New to riding, I'm still a bit unclear.. Is it all done simultaneously? Or is there still a series of steps that have to be followed, in order, but just really really fast?
Do you have to hit the brake after you pull in clutch and then down shift or is that only when you come to a complete stop? I’m a little confused what rev matching is 😅
I can honestly say I learned something new today thank you oh I found out that my mother-in-law's 855 lb of useless flesh takes up a hell of a lot of space
I’ve been riding for 5 weeks now. I rode my bike off the lot not knowing anything. 10 seconds after riding it clicked and I was able to hit all gears no issue. I’m just starting to learn to downshift and its way better now that im practicing more
I don’t even ride but these shorts are incredibly well done.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them👌🏻
You should see his 'other' Shorts... 💀
(they cause brain damage)😅
You forgot to mention that it prevents wheel lock up.
That’s more if u don’t use the clutch and just shift down like on a dirt bike, although most don’t lock up much naymkre
You will not lock the rear by just downshifting without blipping 😂
My 450sr with slipper clutch: 😌👌
@@ddon1797I have while leaned over lol I was goin like 40 I think

Just learned this the hard way yesterday, survived the turn but scared the shit outta myself.

Yeah do it in a higher gear just learn that way then start doing it in the lower gears
Yea if you do it when your rpms are already low when the clutch re-engages it had to bring the rpms back down causing the bike to jerk foward
That’s a great bike to start on! Just keep practicing you’ll get it down. It just has be done really quickly, and thanks! I try to make these videos easy to understand and provide a lot of visuals for viewer, I’m glad you’re finding value out of them!
Higher your rpm’s before you downshift the more throttle you gotta give to rev match as well

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SOUND❤ of Rev Matching. Your videos are Awesome 🏍. Thank you👍🏾❗️

Im new to riding and you've been the most helpful person since I've gotten my bike, thanks for the info and tips 🤝
Your videos are the best! All the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 🙌🏼
Thank you! I love making them and love to hear positive feedback! Ride safe🏍️💨
Took me 3 yrs into riding to actually get it down 😂😂😂
I'm starting today xD
Shit i learned wrong, i learned "clutch, blip, downshift" instead of "clutch, downshift, blip"
I have a quick shifter that does auto up shift and auto down shift. Still great information.
You can rev match with out matching the speed of next gear what i mean if iam in 4th gear speed i can down shift to 3 rd gear without bringing the speed to the 3rd gear
Idk what I’d do without this guy
Thank you dude this made it make sense.
So the steps are 1st step pull clutch in
Second step shift gear down
Third step blip the throttle ? Sorry im a new rider learning.
Basically. I think about it as three steps:
1. Pressure on the shifter
2. Pull in the clutch AND close the throttle at the same time
3. Release the clutch AND blip at once
You only need to pull the clutch as far as it takes for it to click into the lower gear. Once you hear/feel that click, on to step 3.
Can you also do like this? 1. clutch in 2.blip 3.downshift 4.clutch out
This is very well put together! Well done nice suzuki btw
Been riding for 4yrs and still can't rev match. I just clutch in and downshift and never had a problem
You only really need to rev match if you're dropping into a lower gear to accelerate or to engine brake hard. If you're more of a chill rider, it might never come up (especially if your bike has a slipper clutch).

Downshifting/rev matching is one of my favourite things to do when riding.
Say you don’t rev match your a beginner does it mess the motorcycle up in any way?
Wait do I blip the throttle after knocking it a gear down and before I release my clutch?
It's an all at once sort of thing, you grab the clutch, blip a bit while downshifting and then release the clutch, entire thing doesn't even take half a sec.
I can’t be the only one who thought the first one sounded better than the second one right just getting into motorcycles trying to find out how to correctly downshift everyone wants to blip the throttle, but it just sounds worse and I wanna know how to do it correctly
How about engine braking 🤔
as a fellow sport bike rider , this is factual !
What’s about quickshift ?
I don't even use the clutch... as I downshift, i blip the throttle... gotta be quick and precise
Haven't mastered that yet..or even rev matching while holding the front brake. I use the rear to maintain deceleration for the momentary release of the front brake
I use this method when I'm down shifting on the highway or at high speeds. 30ish and under I use the clutch to downshift. I've gotten good clutchless downshifting while using the front brake at the same time as well...without any major lugging or lurching due to unintentional brake application.

@@ddon1797 I'll try that! Thanks for taking the time to try to teach me 🙏
@briangiven7399 genuinely curious if you managed to get that down? 😅
POV:your in 2010-2013 and your plug just got a motorcycle and you don’t wanna be rude and just ask for your weed
I can't do this without releasing pressure on the front brake. What can I do to get better at the right hand dual control?
Loosen up your grip alittle bit. Firm but not tense. And lots of practice. I use 2fingers over the brake lever. If that helps.
brake by squeezing with your fingers, not by squeezing your entire palm
Alright so now Lord Farquad rides motorcycles
OMG at first i thought you said red neck 😂
New to riding, I'm still a bit unclear..
Is it all done simultaneously? Or is there still a series of steps that have to be followed, in order, but just really really fast?
Do you do anything when upshifting or it’s just roll off throttle, pull clutch and shift up
do you need to pull the clutch all the way, or just a bit
Do you have to hit the brake after you pull in clutch and then down shift or is that only when you come to a complete stop? I’m a little confused what rev matching is 😅
Thank you man!
Of course!
Is it dangerous enough to flip you over if u messed up?
What bikes do this for you? I’m a new rider
WOW AWESOME AMAZING ! ! ! ! ! !
Thank you!!
I'm doing this thing on my bike without knowing its a skill in riding 😂❤
Sometimes I use it to engine break is that bad ???
Don't forget it'll save ware and tair on your clutch.
You are liget bro thanks
Tbh always do that subconsciously
You're a meme though right? Like, you check every Chad stereotype box 😂😂
My bike is fancy and has auto rev match ((: 😅
Which is it?
@Nasty Habitz So there's no manual bike that has auto Rev match?
@Nasty Habitz Anyway, it's easy and fun to Rev match
If 17 was never taken by the Red Ribbon army 😮😢😂
love americans explain how manual works damn
I can honestly say I learned something new today thank you oh I found out that my mother-in-law's 855 lb of useless flesh takes up a hell of a lot of space
Damn she’s fat af
Rev match will save your brakes
Hey spunky I wanna see more of you ripping the streets or track
How to Willy
very nice
Did it harm your bike😢
Just say, synchronise the 3
Please put subtitles in spanish because a lot of people in Mexico cant understand some specific Words in english 🤙🏻 greetings 🎉
Next video: how to get a haircut
I use rev match instead of my brakes
Nice hair bro 😅

You talk too fast
So what you wanna do is sell the suzuki and buy literally anything else
Slipper clutch
May God bless and keep you all in the name of Jesus become disciples of christ and believe
Owaw
W
Explained nothing
Down shifting tears s*** up
No it doesn’t..Trust me these things can take a pounding. If you rev match it’s much smoother and it’s actually better for the motorcycle
Well I'd rather my bikes last 10 times longer by not trying to destroy it
And you're full of shit that it don't tear stuff up
What’s rpms newbe squid?
"revolutions per minute". It's how fast the engine is spinning.
