what did you do with your fazer today ?

Another tip is to see how much the revs drop when changing up, usually 500 revs or so. therefore if you blip the throttle to between 500-1000 revs on a down change that should be sufficient.
I always change down as i slow, and sometimes the gearbox may over work if i'm being competitive on my ride out but I've never got to a junction and not been totally ready to pull out. This is probably why I've not had any more training. I don't think i'm doing anything wrong(I know i'm not) And I've never had a gearbox problem with any of the 20 or so bikes I've owned.
I can think of only 1 time where I've made a balls up by filtering to the front and that was next to a big Mercedes ML 350 and he totally gunned it from the lights and i was faster but then went across him to join the motorway. He justifiably used his very loud horn and very bright lights. My fault but i now look at what car is at the front and his road positioning. Still learning after 32 years of doing it.
