Correct Operation Method of Downshifting and Throttle Blip for Motorcycles?
1 Answers
The correct operation for downshifting and throttle blip is: clutch to neutral – release clutch and blip throttle – clutch in and shift to lower gear – release clutch and accelerate. Downshifting and throttle blipping is mainly applicable to manual transmissions, which can reduce jerking when shifting from a higher gear to a lower gear and provide better power during overtaking. It is not a necessary condition for normal driving. Precautions for downshifting and throttle blipping operation: 1. Fully depress the clutch pedal with your left foot before shifting: Operationally, the left foot clutch pedal must be fully depressed before shifting or disengaging gears, otherwise it may cause gear grinding and damage the transmission. 2. Minimize the half-clutch state: Otherwise, it will affect the lifespan of the clutch. Prolonged half-clutch will burn out the clutch; the half-clutch should only be used for high-torque starts or moments requiring rapid changes in power demand. 3. Gradually release the clutch: When releasing the clutch, if there is a significant difference between the vehicle speed and engine speed, the clutch should be released gradually to allow the clutch to bring the engine speed up, reducing engine impact and jerking. This can also be achieved by blipping the throttle or decelerating.
