Shifting gears?

[Revolution]

i've noticed when i UPSHIFT i come off the throttle, and when she gets into the next higher gear she slows down a bit from the engine torque [engine breaking]. should i be keeping the throttle open a little more or is this the nature of the beast? happens when i'm a little aggressive [by my standards

] around my 6000 rpm shift.

with the harley i would shift this way [almost closed throttle] and she did'nt engine break on upshift.

just got off the phone with a harley bud and mechanic, he tells me that i just have to get used to the new bike and i'll proppably have to open the throttle a little more on aggressive upshifts.

then again on the busa i dont think you have to shift

so...i think i have to get used to the bike more and open up the throttle a little more on upshifts...right?

Exactly - I had a harley too and i was doing the same thing!
Every shift -especialy lower gears - i would lurch foward a little- I just learned to shift differently.... Quicker and gas sooner I guess?
this is a joke aint it? You got me.

you have to "blip" the throttle... your rpms when you release the clutch need to be close to where they were before you pulled in the clutch when you let it back out after shifting. Hope that makes since... Its just like a car... you let off the gas, push the clutch, shift, let the clutch out at the same time as you push the gas pedal again. Do that an your shifts will be much smoother. Works for me!

speed shift it at 6000 rpm's and don't use the clutch, sometimes I don't even realize it shifted it's so smooth.

+1 you need to be back on the throttle faster.

I hardly ever use the the clutch except in first either going up or down, just a little throttle control she she clicks right up or drops right down...
