On the engine braking thing ---doesn't anyone "blip the throttle while you are changing down when the clutch is in as that adds speed to the engine and reduces the braking a little and makes the whole thing of changing down a lot smother and means somtimes you dont even have to use the brakes
Yeah, been doing that all my riding career so I don't really think about it now - I just do it. Just feels right.
[/quote]I think that is the bit that nay-sayers about engine braking are missing as -yes without the tecnique engine braking can be quite severe and can even lead to a skid.
Does the tecnique have a name ?
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
