General Do You Blip On The Down Shift?

[Dark Rider]

Hey guys! Take a look at my video below and let me know you do. Also, any tips would be much appreciated as I'm not quite as consistent as I'd like to be.

Gonna have to watch the vid later, but I didn't on the Deauville, I do on the Triumph though, mainly cos it sounds awesome, but also it drops down nicer because of it. I also clutchless shift up on both bikes, I can to 5th to 1st clutchless on the Deau, and 6th to 4th on the Triumph, it's not so keen on 4th to 3rd for some reason, but I've mainly experienced that when rattling down through the gears rather than a single gear change for a corner or incline.

Yes, it is hard to blip while front braking.
Can't tell from the video, are you braking with 2 fingers?
I think the best way to do it is to use first two fingers on the brake so you still have the other 2 to control the throttle.

Yes Im doing two finger braking and 2 on the throttle. I also do 2 finger clutch. I still have the standard levers on my bike so not sure if that matter. Maybe it will be easier with shorty levers?

you have to blip for smoother shifts....try different finger configurations...I use index and middle on the brake , thumb around the throttle and control the throttle with my palm, the ring and pinky just kind lay around the throttle for stability.

Yea Happy's right, you need to blip for smooth shifts however, I'm depends on how much. I don't like it when people proper rev the beans off the bike just for show when there's no one around

My bike's a Honda CBR300r and whilst Honda's are known for being workhorses, part of me feels that in 2016, it might just blow up!

I kinda use my forearm to help the 'blip', by dropping your elbow as you do it, you can palm the throttle back while keeping pressure on the brake lever with your two index fingers. Works for me, anyway!

Quick shift on the way up. Blip on the way down. Well most of the time.
