Hard to down shift
#15
(11-07-2016, 08:47 AM)EmptySea_imp Wrote: So...what am I doing wrong or right?: I approach a turn at, say, 50mph in 5th. Pretty sharp corner with a posted 'recommended' speed of 20mph. I pull the clutch lever, drop two clicks to 3rd, apply front brake, pull clutch and drop another click to 2nd, trail off the brake and roll on throttle and exit the turn. Heck, I'm not even sure that's what I do as I type it out, though. LOL. I'll need to record myself sometime, but in the meantime, what did I screw up?
For you guys who do multiple down-shifts without re-engaging the clutch between shifts: Do you blip the throttle each time before you depress the shift lever to match the engine speed with the rear wheel speed? If you don't, do you hear a lot of noise coming out of your transmission?
