Learning to throttle blip.

[Finn]

You're all amatuers. Listen to the master, I shall say this only once...

When braking, use your biggest finger only. That's the one you use to flick people the bird. That's enough for heavy braking and you've still got good throttle control with your other 3 fingers and thumb.

Try it and thank me later.

Note: I am of course referring to the front brake (for the ladies out there)

Damn, sprung!!

You will of course refrain from those shenanigans next weekend on my bike tho yeah? That back tyre needs to last the day.

Well fuck me. You mean to tell me the front brake is on the same side as the throttle? No wonder my front brake has never worked...........I've been using the wrong side....................

yeh thats bad ass,, but thats nothing to make u fall of your chair, if u cant do it this fast its point less cause bikes rpm are touchy and if the blip down shit is left to long it doesnt match the rpm

also try using no clutch just tap the throttle and apply pressure to leaver when u tap throttle ul feel it drop a gear...

and try not to take advice from noobs like mynameis, hehe alvin u can barley shift upgear properly let alone a blip down shift hehe

0ops sorry boss you're so right I can't even ride properly in a straight line or change up, and I should not be talking about blipping and all the complicated stuff.

Shaun DOES have a thing called skill.
That wasn't a fast session though, I've seen the guy go much faster round there.
Just cause it was on the vid, doesn't mean that it was full pace.

Too right!! He was on my road bike, and did maybe 5 laps? And this is what Blueblade said about it in my video thread...

Just for your info Leong. I tried to follow Shaun earlier in that session when he was on a race bike. Stuck with him for about 3 metres. He was just flying !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bit later he came by on your bike and, although he was going reasonably quick, I can assure you he was substantially slower than on the race bike. Looked like he was either being very careful with someones pride and joy, or possibly concentrating on analysing what the bike was doing. Either way, i managed to keep him in sight for about 4 corners that time.
Really cool to be on the track with someone like him, and an extra bonus to have him play with our bikes in the pits.

And back to topic...... blipping throttle - I can do fine on the road, but at the track when you're very hard on the brakes and a lot of weight is on the wrists, I find it much more difficult. Any tips ??

Not sure about tips, I tend to brake early, rather than later, this gives more time to set up for the corner, a better line, and a harder drive out. Towards the end of a session, my braking becomes later, but my coner speed stays the same. The early braking will also help to get the throttle thing right.

Just another way of easing into a full on thrash. Most people dont do thier fastest laps early on anyway, so fuck all ground is lost.

Some of the advice is good, some has got me seriously worried. This thread is a good indicator of the requirement for good rider training from the very first moment you put your bum on the seat. I only use the clutch changing down in case I don't get the blip exactly right and even there I only just pull on it enough to make it slip a bit. It's a practice and familiarity thing to be able to brake real hard while tipping in and changing down at the same time. You should be able to brake hard and consistently while blipping for shifts.

However I do recall watching some onboard footage from Mr Rossi and he was just tapping down through the gears and letting the slipper clutch take care of it.

On track, trying to back shift woitout a clutch is fine unless your in a situation where it is more likely to change the bikes attitude rapidly. An example is the sweeper at manfeild where you are backshifting a gear at full lean-try that with no clutch and u'll likely end up on yr ear.
This follows thru on the road - I wouldn't want to try and clutchless backshift in anything in but in a straight line - IF (and yes I do with regularity) I want to put the bike sideways, I do it with using the clutch lever as a 2nd rear brake - letting it out to get more brake, back in to reduce rear wheel back torque.

Mr Rossi's case is a stethial one. We don't all have a Yamaha unobtanium back-torque clutch, nor a Yamaha computer system that actually is pre programmed to blip the next gear for him - this technology was introduced when all the ex-500 riders complained about having to blip the first MotoGP bikes in 2002, after getting of the two-strokes with FA back-torque.
