so, i got an 88 bigkat and im about to start my second season riding. i have a couple questions about high rev shifting and down shifting.
so if im ridin along doing lets say 75 mph and i want to GO whats the art of down shifting? in my car at 75 i would down shirt from 5th to 3rd, get the rpm's up and let the clutch go and im GOING!! i drive a svt tour. so if im dong it on the bike whats the tecnique so the bike doesnt handle me? is there a way to start out light and work my way up according to how it feels?
ive heard that if you got full throttle and high rpms there is no need to hit the clutch, just hit the shidt lever. ive never done this and i probably will never do this becuase it seems pretty harsh. is it safe?
