Interesting about watching tach. On a lot of videos you can see from th tach that the rider is putting along and shifting lazy, as if driving a car.... Clutch, revs drop way down, shift(clank), revs come up and then increase until next shift... Its like they're making it a 3 step process. Bike trannys dont work same as cars.
shifting a motorcycle is a 1 step process. On videos where shifts are smooth, the tach falls only as far as what matches the next gear and the shifts are brisk but not slammed through..... Its one motion. Clutch throttle toe all at the same time so you go one gear right to the other with no delay and no extra rpm drop. Even when riding casually. Makes shifting much smoother and quieter on any bike.
(this has nothing to do with clutch less shifting. Dont start.)
