@cliffy_jr: What is Rev Matching? When you downshift, the engine speed needs to rise to match the speed of the rear wheel in the lower gear. If you just dump the clutch, the bike will jerk forward and the rear tire might even chirp. Rev matching is the technique of artificially raising those RPMs before you let the clutch out to ensure a seamless transition. #RevMatching #Transmission #SmoothShifting #MotorcycleTechnical #RiderTips
