Blipping

[jonbuoy]

I flip my gearboxes now so upshifts have you standing on the lever, well putting downward pressure on it, now upchanges just involve putting preuure on the lever and backing off the throttle slightly and the next gear just clicks in.

Ah racers do that for tipped over gearchanges as well I think. Wouldn't wanna get mixed up when you jump on your road bike he he.

I don't remember locking up the back whilst slithering around a damp/wet track on my high compression slick shod Superbike at Manfield on the Weekend?

And this is why im investing the thousand odd bucks to get a slipper clutch --so I dont have to blipp no more (the zxr750 has a factory slipper clutch )
For those that dont know slipper clutches make it possible to down shift heaps and NOT lock the back wheel up

You could just get a 2 stroke...no locking the back wheel and more power to boot....

[Mr. Peanut]

Two-strokes are the shizz,

I just hope they don't get a bad image from all the newbies on their learners licence...

Wait a sec

Funny how they think two-strokes are dead, I could build an NSR from scratch using aftermarket or replicated parts.

Phoebe will lock the rear wheel with a clumsy 2nd to 1st change.

[Mr. Peanut]

Jesus Ixion,
how many smokers do you need?

[Ixion]

Y' can never have too many two smokers.

jeeesh, some of you guys are ruining this experience for me.... I only bought a V-twin and put a c/f pipe on it so I could blip on the down changes and sound cool

What model ZXR750 comes out with a slipper clutch? I thought only the kawasaki 600 and 636 + ZX10R had those?
The bike I was reffering to with slicks was the ZX9R.

The only slipper clutch my 750 has only seems to work when the power/revs rise

[Mr. Peanut]

I have a dry clutch try slipping that XD
Rattle rattle....

[FROSTY:Me]

Sug- You are kidding me right??

[Felicks]

Two things. From memory my bike has a slipper clutch. And if thats the case then while it may be good on the down change beware when chopping into first gear hard under brakes like approaching a sharp 180 turn. Despite the slipper clutch I still have had the back wheel start to slide because of engine braking on occassions.

The other thing, does blipping actually help the gears to get up to correct speeds for changing? As the synchros do that, I was wondering if speeding everything thing up in the gear box during a blip may possibly work the synchros even harder. True or false??

[Ixion]

Motorcycle gearboxes do not have synchros.

I'm with you Marknz, IMO theres no better sound than a twin. Axe check out the 'arriving' file to hear how good a twin sounds blipping down through the gears.

Well, I have a 350 single four and I dont always blip downwards , but when I do, I will be the first to admit, the sound it makes does indeed give me my jollies
Then again, sometimes I let the engine burble and backfire just to hear it as well, so maybe I'm not the most responsible rider out there
