Should You Check RPM When Shifting Gears on a Motorcycle?

[McWalker]

Motorcycle gear shifting does not require checking the RPM; it depends on the vehicle's speed and whether power demands a gear change. Upshift promptly when power is abundant, and downshift when power is insufficient. Motorcycle gear shifting precautions: When changing gears, grasp the appropriate timing based on the speed relationship between different gears. If the motorcycle shudders or even stalls when shifting to a higher gear, immediately grip the clutch lever, downshift, and then reattempt the upshift after increasing speed. Shift sequentially: Motorcycle gear shifts should be performed in sequential order without skipping gears. Avoid stomping forcefully on the gearshift pedal (or yanking the gear lever abruptly), and never kick it violently with your foot. Don't look down at the gear position: During gear shifting, always keep your eyes looking straight ahead. Do not look down at the gears, glance around, or lose focus.
