rev matching Options

[pnoywitmustrdsau...]

Revv matching i think thats what its called, it is when you get up to a certain rpm that you are able to shift gears without using your clutch pedal! my question is, is this technique bad? i mean when i shift it, there is no grinding of gears and it feels like a normal shift whether i'm using the clutch pedal or not.

i do this all the time on my gsxr, it's easy once you figure out how to do it.

however, i wouldn't recommend it on a car, just be quick on shifting and you'll be okay.

your bike has dog engeggement and stright cut gears m8.
thats how they do it at races with dogbox. its harder to rev macth with helical cut gears.

I always thought that rev matching is when you say downshift.. when you suck the clutch in you rev the engine and then let the clutch out at approx. the RPM that the downshift will land you at so that way it's a perfect match and you don't slip the clutch or jerk the engine..

Try double clutching.. that's real fun.. I did that for a while in my 5gc cuz 2nd gear synchro was messed and I couldn't downshift into it with out double clutching. (thank God for synchromesh)
