Downshifting how do you do it?

[Bretty]

I generally do whatever I need to do to keep the bike between 10,000 and 13,000rpm. And you usually want to be blipping the throttle at around those levels! ;-)


Joking aside, dispite feeling a high revving idiot, it's really good practice to be revving high into a corner as engine braking can save you if the corner tightens. Equally you're supposed to go into a corner slow and be on the power throughout the turn as it transfers the weight to the back tyre.


Personally I always change down by backing of the throttle and using the clutch. Rarely multiple gears at a time unless I know I'm going to stop.
