  • well, you don't ...

    well, you don't have to give it any throttle at all, if you want to stop. Otherwise, say your going from a 65mph to a 35mph, from 6th to 3rd, while downshifting and releasing the clutch you'll want to give it throttle to continue to accelerate. Hope that helps, if not PM me

  • Hey good video, ' ...

    Hey good video, 'but i have got a question.
    While downshifting. Imagine, you are in 6th, and you want te go to the third gear. Im pulling the clutch, kick one gear down, and i am releasing the clutch. While releasing the cluth. Must i give a little trottle? I am now in 5th. I;m pulling the clutch, kick one down, and i am releasing the clutch. Must i give a little trottle? So my question is: while downshifting in a row, should you give every time a little bit trottle while releasing the clutch?

    Some bikes dont let you downshift gears if the bike isnt moving.

    It's also necessary to make sure that during downshifting your speed is right for the lower gear or you have risk that the bike locks rear tire temporarily.

    Downshifting gears in a row is not smart idea because that's how you can damage transmission. Easy to understand when you hear "klonk" noise much louder than normal and even louder than putting first gear on during downshifting.
