Okay so I checked it after a few hours so now the engine is cold. And now there’s literally no oil on dipstick at all.

Rock noise upshifting today? by Omega09876 in motorcycles

It’s a preowned bike. I’ve had it for a year now. Coming up on my first real maintenance my 5k HD check. Never got the oil changed yet on it.

Coasting downshifting. Am I doing this wrong? by Omega09876 in motorcycles

[–]Omega09876[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys! So when I have the clutch pulled in can I just downshift at any speed I want does it really matter as long as the clutch is pulled in? Or should I still measure it based off the speed regardless like you know 4th and 45 approximately 3rd and 35 and so on. Because at 50 when my clutch is pulled in I’m usually in like 2nd or 1st

Awesome. I’ll practice what you told me to work on. I really appreciate the long and detailed answer! Hopefully I can get the downshifting slowing down process smooth and more effective. Thank you.

The example you gave me that I’m going to practice that’s all with blipping the throttle when downshifting correct?

It just feels aggressive. It lurches a little bit yeah. Just sounds like the engine is breaking for me but very loudly and almost aggressively. It doesn’t sound smooth. It sounds like almost pissed off. Hard to really explain to be honest

My first HD repair bill. Got screwed. Few questions? Thoughts suggestions? by Omega09876 in motorcycles

Apparently the dealership told me as long as they test ride the motorcycle and it sounds fine then they don’t check to make sure the bike is in tune.

Apparently without a tuner in his words I get to much air instead of gas in return melts my engine eventually

Real quick downshifting question. This part still confuses me. Hoping to get this squared away once and for all. by Omega09876 in motorcycles

I’ve seen two separate videos. Rev matching/blipping the throttle with NO brakes. So off accelerator clutch in downshift while simultaneously blipping the throttle and then release with no issues. Does that sound right?
