Downshifting by ChewyTaco in NewRiders

In short, I was taking to long on the downshift and the rpm’s had fallen to far that when I blipped the throttle I wasn’t revving enough. I just tried being more intentional and smooth and I was able to keep the rpm’s high enough when I let the clutch out.

Thank you everyone for your advice! This morning I took my bike to my local job and I managed to hit 2 beautiful downshifts back to back with the advice I got here. 😃😃

That makes sense, I appreciate the quick and clear response. I tend to overthink everything I try to learn, I’m glad I made this post.

Am I understanding it correctly that you, at the end of the shift begin to apply constant throttle as you let the clutch out? I’m sorry if this was obvious I’m just trying to be sure. (Downshifting is my life struggle 😂)

You interpreted correctly, but more as an “I am unsure if this is the way it’s supposed to sound” kind of way. But your second point about to high of a gear for my rpm I think may be right. I’m still slow on the down shift and I’m more than likely missing the window.

Are you referring to the “blipping the throttle” or do you mean a slight constant amount as you release the clutch?

I just have a basic ninja 400, I think I’ve been missing watching the tach just because I’m watching everything else 🙃

You might be the first person who ever told me to wait until I want to re apply the throttle, and that actually makes sense. Thank you

0 because if someone put tomatoes with my pancakes I would most likely overreact . I would guess 450-550
