      I have been doing rev matching when I am going fast and needed a quick response on gearing down aggressively. Rev matching is also a wise choice gearing it up especially up slopes and in jams. Saved my hide a few times to evasively avoid accidents. I do engine braking too especially a slow stop on the red light, behind cars or going down slopes. Depends on your riding style.

    Sounds like riding a motorcycle is like learning to play an instrument. In the beginning you're uncoordinated and sound horrible, but with practice you start to sound pleasant and become more comfortable with more challenging techniques. Like using 3rd position on the violin or playing while singing.

    rev matching break-down:
    4 steps
    1 clutch in
    2 gear down
    3 rev
    4 clutch out
    If it is too difficult thinking about the four steps happening super fast, try splitting it in the middle. Clutch in and gear down. you can coast along clutch in without issue. This gives you time to focus on the rev matching and letting the clutch go again :)

      Something not learned yet, my mind is thinking that you would increase throttle for higher gear and decrease throttle for a lower gear. If you blip the throttle seems the opposite would happen, btw I'm ok with counter steering. Will experiment with this rev match. Own a HD could help I guess.

    Little tip. If a car is riding close behind you and you are about to slow down via engine braking, tap you brake lightly 2 or 3 times to flash your rear brake light. That will give them a warning you are slowing down so they don't rear-end you.

      @@schr4nz well, at least form what I know. Race cars with rwd have the same problem. If they would downshift in turnes without rev matching, they would spin out in the most turns. If the driver is talented, he can heel and toe (manually rev matching in cars) or his car does it by itself. The car COULD calculate the exact engine speed so that it would fit 100%, but they don't do it. Just because reving a bit higher than needed but not applying throttle while engaging is also working perfectly fine. And I can tell you since I'm rev matching I never had problems with slipping tires because I shifted in a turn (no matter if you should do it or not)

      you have to rev match & downshift properly because at high speeds you can lock up the back tire and it's dangerous even with abs going from fast to slower too quickly can cause a whiplash effect. Use the brakes to slow down before rev matching/downshifting

    Engine braking : Happening every time you let go of the throttle. Fuel and air injection stop, so a vaccum is created in the cylinder. It slows down the pistons, and so it slow down the bike/car.
    About rev matching : Main goal is to avoid locking the rear wheel. On wet road or in cold conditions, anything with two cylinders or less, and bigger than 600cc will instantly lock the back wheel if you apply too much sudden engine braking by not rev matching ! This is mandatory on some bikes !

    • @drew9041
      @drew9041 Před 5 lety +13

      Sorry bud, but there's a lot wrong with this description of engine braking... fuel and spark are cut therefore the engine no longer has a power stroke due to lack of an ignition event. The load on the engine i.e. weight of the bike transmitted from the wheel through the gearbox and clutch back to the crank is what slows the motor and the bike. The vacuum in the cylinders and air intake have nothing to do with it, as long as the the engine is rotating there is a vacuum.

      @@jonkexx its not vacuum its as @drewbot R1 said, but has to do a bit more with timing, air compression. yes fuel and spark are limited to just enough to keep the engine running (ie: one or two cyl and none in the rest) then the timing kicks in and holds the exhaust port closed for a longer period of time. building pressure in the cyl from the piston compressing the air. then releases it at the last moment. when you throttle off the wheels are already spinning pushing the force back through your transmission, and into the engine. if the engine had no engine braking your car/bike would essentially be in neutral. by adding the air compression it gives the engine some resistance from spinning over. thus all the way back into the tires.

    I am pretty new to riding again after 20 years away from it, and I have always just done the engine brake thing naturally.

Getting better at the rev matching. :)

  • @TXrevolver777
    @TXrevolver777 Před 5 lety +39

    its really important to note that rev matching should be done by someone with enough experience on a particular bike to have throttle control built into muscle memory. if you overload the revs on a down shift its essentially like popping the clutch to rip a wooly. also, the concept is: match the rpm to a given speed for a particular gear. anyone driving a standard transmission car will understand... Finally, it's really important to note that engine braking does not take precedence over using you brake. its a luxury and testament to your skills, but things happen quick... pull in the clutch and hit the breaks if things get tense.

    • @aster22380
      @aster22380 Před 2 lety +1

    you can downshift without clutching too, it's a little bit more tricky and unforgiving, but double the fun. Just click down a gear as you blip the throttle at the exact same time, takes a while to learn and it's different on different rpm's so there's a learning curve. but it's worth it.

    I'll need to give it a try. Personally I think I've kinda taught myself to "catch" the lower gear higher revs with a bit of throttle. instead of "blipping" the gas and dunking the clutch, I guess I kind of gas it a bit and release the clutch into the lower gear if that makes sence. Been riding for 18 years now, never burned or trashed a clutch, and never had the rear wheel lock up on me or become unstable. I just ease into the lower gear, even while riding hard it's automatic actually. But I'll give it a go I guess.

It's a small change of transition because your typically going smoother and faster on a motorcycle. Rev matching is also similar and different in its own way based on bike characteristics. Overall, I think its always great to start off on a cheap bike because you will make mistakes, learn your way up, then invest into something you really desire. Great video!

    • @tiagodumont4422
      @tiagodumont4422 Před 5 lety

      Trail breaking is easy but a slight mistake can send you sliding off the road. Essentially, you've probably noticed how the front of the bike sinks when you are breaking, how it comes back up when you let go of the break and how the bike sinks a bit at the rear while cornering. The point of trail breaking is essentially to extend your breaking into the curve and make all this "lift front", "steady", "sink back" motion happen harmoniously. The beginner's hazard here is if you start turning before releasing enough of the front break to prevent it from going off. Also, you don't have to try this at high speeds. Something like 40km/h is enough to notice if you are on the correct path.

      Ya dude it depends on how you are downshifting. Letting it out slowly is great when you are letting your RPM match with the gear you just shifted to. If you are rev matching you don’t need to let the clutch out slowly because the gear is now matching the RPM and the bike won’t be throwing itself forwards due to poor shifting
