- You will love your Gear Upshifts on a motorcycle if you learn this technique. You can use this technique on any of the motorcycles like the KTM Duke 390, Bajaj Dominar 400, KTM RC 390 etc... You can do this on a 100cc to even a 1000cc motorcycle, also, some cruiser motorcycle which do not have long travel gear levers.

Great video mate!
However you mention that you need to blip your throttle while upshifting. As far as my understanding goes, blipping your throttle would increase the RPMs of the bike and since we're upshifting, we are looking to reduce the RPMs. In order to do this, I recommend letting go off the throttle for a second and shifting simultaneously and then starting to accelerate again. I understand that this is what you meant but I just thought I'd point out to you the difference in the terminology.
Blipping the throttle is what one should do while downshifting in order to rev match.
Apart from that small terminology mistake? (not quite sure I'd call it a mistake, but i hope you get what i mean to say) , great video. I believe this will really help increase the knowledge of fellow bikers in India in order to ride better.
I recommend making a video on Rev Matching as well if you haven't already. That's a great way of maintaining your clutch's life. I've been doing it for a while now and I've noticed that your riding is a lot smoother when you rev match. It also gives you the feeling that you're riding a superbike!
+Sidhant Kacker You are absolutely correct mate.. My mistake, I got confused with the terminology... I loved your constructive feedback... Thanks very much for the support..
I'm glad you took my comment in the positive way I intended it to be.
Keep up the great work! Eagerly awaiting for your next video!
And hence those ware pointless 11:37 mins
raj chaudhari I disagree with you. What Vikas Sir has mentioned is correct. Infact clutchless upshifting will help so many riders increase their speed.
He only made a small mistake with the terminology and being a human, that's completely acceptable. Nobody is perfect and just because you can't appreciate the efforts someone puts in, doesn't give you the right to say that their videos are useless. Every video on youtube is for a particular use to someone or the other. Even the Nyan cat videos have a purpose - to entertain!
So I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with your comment.
Good point, Sidhant...
please don't put music while showing ride video.... let the sound of the engine be the music... that way it's much easier to understand
agree!
I do it on my passion pro, but I didn't knew that it's a racing technique😊😊😊
wow I am born to race😂😂😂
Anonymous _TM me too I do the same on my pulser 150
Aditya Rajpoot kirack;);)
I don't have a slipper clutch on my pulsar 150, but downshifts are absolutely possible. I have all the gears in one direction so I can actually come to a full halt without using clutch. I am going to miss this feature in my next bike 😑
Or lazy to pull clutch lever🙄😁
I do on splendor bro😂
Killer technique boss.
For those saying this will ruin the bike, it will only do so if you don't time your wrist action properly. You will cause a jerk to the drivetrain that is in fact harmful. Trying to shift before blipping the throttle is nearly always futile, as the engaged gear still has power going through it and therefore will not disengage (the force from your foot is not enough to overcome the friction between the engaged dogs). If you do manage to shift it, you will feel a forward jerk.
Not getting back on the throttle immediately after the shift (Especially on bigger engines) will jerk you back as the engine has already started decelerating. These are probably some things which may give one the feeling that their bike is chewing itself up from the inside.
While preloading the gear lever is not entirely necessary(I seldom do it on my Dominar, shifts amazing anyway), it is a great way to ensure a positive, immediate shift as soon as you blip. However, I do have some doubts as to what happens to the gear selector forks(in short, making one part rub against another at high revs). It would be great if someone could shed some light on this.
This works BETTER at high revs as there is a high possibility of the dogs on the next gear having a synchronized position with the input, therefore, it always works, as the dogs are flying past each other so fast. The reason this is smooth as hell is because your engine can easily transfer its momentum to the bike(in the next upper gear) instantaneously. It doesn't have to rev match, burn clutch and lurch to the right RPM. Now that IS BAD for the clutch.
The mistake that could be made here is a weak force on the lever. Or shifting at loo low an RPM. When trying this out the first time I once had it pop out of gear in second and go into neutral(like Vikas said, don't use it first to second to begin with :P)
Just to reiterate what's in the video,
Sequence:
Accelerate
Preload Shifter
*Very quickly(less than a quarter of a second)
Off the throttle
Shift for real(quick and surely, it WILL shift)
On the throttle
Smile and ride away like a boss
Happy riding folks and thanks Vikas for the great video!
WoW Bro! Absolutely loved your inputs... Thanks very much bro... Cheers!
Thanks for your detailed explanation 😊
So while doing clutchless upshifting, we don't have to completely let go of the throttle; just the blip will be enuf, right? (can anyone clarify this) TIA
krishnanunni p Right bro... Jst a blip
If you are at 50% throttle
A Blip would be
*Do this VERY fast
1. 50%
2. 0%(shift here)
3. 50% or more since you're now in a higher gear
It even worked on my TVS Star City.... Happy experimenting😃
Many a times I did this because of lazyness but now i know its called clutch less upshift anyways great video Vikas bhai
this was like trying mechanical magic for me Vikas, been riding since was 15 but surprisingly enough no one ever told me about trick.. tried it for the first time today and guess what, can't thank you enough bro. Appreciate your genuinity!
My big bro i am just 17 but i am using this technique when i start to ride a bike since 2011 nd no one teached me but ur video cleared some issues
I saw this video 4 years back, and man...! I never lost a single drag race on mu Rr310 after learning this, and now I can do both clutch less upshift and downshifts.. ..!
Poor cinematographer Nithin has a running nose. He's trying his best not to make a noise😂
That blue three wheeler tho..
+Bikash Nyte Ha Ha.. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
🔥
I've been doing clutch-less upshifts for more than 4 years now on my pulsar....Never had any problems with clutch or gearbox........ I learned about clutch-less shifts from RJ's videos. He always does clutch-less upshifts on his Grom and Nuda.
I used this technique from 2011 with out any technical knowledge now i understood. You explained very well vikas buddy. Thank you ao much...
I always use this technique, just releasing throttle one degree or so upshift gears. I learned It automatically. Now watching your video, I am thumping my skill.
Hey bro, where did you get this Chance and Anthony's Merch here in India ??? Are you also a fan or you got it from a local store just because you liked it. I also want it, please reply ASAP
Thank you for your wisdom, experience. I've got a question my friend. Can your videos be applied to Harley Davidsons?
Thanks a lot for this information....i did it on my Fzs ..many times without knowing the facts
.. and was thinking that it would damage the machine...but now doubt cleared and knew its an authorised process....now i need more practice...to make it perfect...
When we putting pressure on the gear and blip a little thn does the gear changes automatically after blib or we need to change it ?
Thanks Vikas for the gyan 😉 all these days i was doing to an extent with RTR 160 and today got to know clearly... The video was very clear and crisp
Thanks man..i was really confused on how to really do clutchless shifting..had too many advices from many experienced riders, but still i was not able to do it...now this vid explained it very well.. clutchless shifting rocks...thanks again ...
I am doing this all my life starting form my dad's splendor, its easy done than said, keep practicing you will get there in no time
Hey what do you do in that u say blip exactly? Either we opening the throttle or closing it?
Thus anyboby know the TVS apache 200 4V bike support the clutchless gear up shifts?
year ago...i hav started doin on my ninja 250r upshift..down shift ! d way u showed is perfctly ...good , n it dnst harm to clutch plate ! ! many ppl dont knw how to shift gear ! best video for new comers !
While blipping the throttle does he rev the bike up or letting go of the throttle a little bit? Please explain
I tried this for first time in my life today and it's an amazing feeling and what a smoothness in clutchless up shifting. Great..video❤️
Nice one.... I have done it before accidentally but didn't know this technique. I could do it on my gixxer 155 while upshifting and it feels great. Thanks for sharing this.
Please make a video on counter steering...I'm confused whether to push the handle bar forward or downwards....
d4dracula2010 yes bro...counter steering is one of d major part in cornering skills..!! Yes, we do need a video about it Vikas sir..!!
d4dracula2010 vikas sir, plz make a video on cornering & counter steering ....do consider our request
hahahahaha wow just go by feeling man, above parking lot speeds countersteering works. Perhaps if you understand why it works, you won't have such a confusion. It is simple centrifugal force at play. You would notice even in a car, that when you steer right into a hard right hander, your body would be pushed in the opposite direction. In a car however, there are two wheels on the outside to maintain stability and course of direction. In a bike, you use this physics, to tip the bike over into a lean in the direction you want to go, faster. Does not mean that if you continue to countersteer through the entire corner, it is good. You just countersteer to get the bike to tip over faster after that you very much need to steer into the corner.
It is something that most people will do naturally. If you have ever ridden a bike then you have counter steered without even realizing it. At slow speeds you turn your wheel in the direction that you want to turn, but once you go over a certain speed (lets say 15 mph) then you will naturally begin to counter steer. When i counter steer I push the handle bar in the direction i want to go instead of pulling it. It is a very slight movement that helps the bike tip into the turn. I would say that you should transition from normal steering to counter steering once you have momentum going in a specific direction. Hope this helps.
If you want to learn countersteering watch Twist of the wrist from Keith code .
In simple terms , if there is a left hand curve , push the left handle bar in opposite direction of the turn , like you are moving in right side . When you do this you will see that your bike is immediately leaned over to the left . Vice versa for right hand turn .
Thank you so much. Works beautifully on my 250r cbr
Can this method be used in low cc motorcycles like splender or passion or pulsur?
This technique i hv bn using from 2009 end on my r15 that time i dont know whether its clutchless or anything else.i was doing that to relief my fingers from pulling the clutch on long drives...good to see peoples are doing this and named this as clutchless
Hai Vikas... i was doing this blip technique, but i never knew that it is a racing hack..
thanks for helping to realise my skills.
can I use half clutch in trafic in order to keep the bike's engine from shutting down
Can we use this technique in d avenger 220 old model??? Asking coz it might be having old system of gears!!! Nd also a main thing it s a cruiser??? Is it ok???
Tried on fz 16 and worked well but is it bad for the gearbox?
Thanks Vikas bhai, Today I learnt from your video and I even tried it. Now I can go from 1st to 5th gear without using any clutch. The moment I did it, I was so damn happy , I was literally laughing , giggling through out my journey. Thanks man. 😋😆
I learnt double clutching recently and it was so great i enjoyed using it in mountains totally on my avenger street 220 and it made my bike totally controllable on high speeds while cornering and racing with ns200 in himachal and now i will try this hope i will get this done right and dont screw my bike.. 😅 this is a totally amazing trick thanx for this video sir...
I have tried this with my Hero Xtreme according to ur explanation....really awesome..It is helpful in daily life clutch cable failure...
I couldn't get ur old video about this topic ,but this video was so we'll explained,i think i got it now. ill try it tomorrow morning and will write back the result.
Do need any particular height to ride a bajaj dominar 400 or will it be good for a person who is 5.2. As it is a heavy bike need ur suggestion as I'm planning to buy tat machine looking forward to get ur suggestion.
Thanks
great video! awwwwwwwwsomeeee I never knew about this.. can I do this on my cbz.. are u sure this will not harm my gear.. ?
Bro,You look like Remo D'Souza :D
Seriously bro u want to compare a biker to a NACHNE WALA
Wbat to do at time of braking to apply cluth or no?
thanks for the great tutorial .. tried it today and loved it .. the shift was butter smooth and acceleration was amazing :)
Bring acceleration to zero and shift gear up and race quick.... This is what the blip.... I'm doing it for years but I never think or focussed... Thank you
Can I use my yhamaha szr
Or it's only for racing bike
This even works on bullet. 💯😂
Thank you so much!!! I've got this in my 1st attempt!!
i skid and fell many time while putting disk brakes on my karizma zmr at normal speeds like 40-60 so cud u plz advise me how to use disk brakes specially when ur riding fast on highway and on normal roads while taking a turn
thanku vikas waiting for some help
Awesome clear crisp and descriptive video upon gear upshift, really learned the concept with examples. Good one Vikash sir..
this technique really helpful for my dazzler.... Thank you very much...
I like your way to explain difficult thins with so easy way...
Thank you so much again....
+Kiran Ghodke Thanks very much hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe
can we practice this one in a new bike? i havent completed my first service yet
Will it work good on re continental gt535
Superb technique bro... Specially the last tip.. Thanks
Mind blowing vikas sir thank u for teaching me like that i just want to ask that how to do wheely on the bikes. I have seen this video 10 times to learn nicely.
Thank u for teaching 😊😊😊
How about doing this on a continental gt which has got only 5k rpm
is this clutchless upshift applicable on royal enfield classic 350?
Does the same work for gearless downshifting as well?
Just a query: is it bad to pull clutch lever at higher rpms? I mean pulling it completely, not partially?
doing cluchless upshifts and the regular upshifts in the same bike ....will it b a problem ?
could it work on the bajaj avenger 220 ??
i don't have the RPM meter , so how i know current RPM ??
sir can you please make a video on what is traction control!
Can i do this shifting in my pulsar AS150?! pls sir let me know this... Tnx
Hello boss. I'm owning Bajaj Pulsar 200 (old model) . 2009 Model. Is it possible to shift and downshifts gears up and down. ? And If I do , does the piston ring break?
Thank you so much bro...... watched your video yesterday and i tried this today on my bike..... gear shifting was effortless and it felt good....
# Vikash Rachamalla ,Sir . Please help me & Suggest me what to do if the Engine case starts leaving the paint in a very nano level
This problem is happening in my 1.3 year old FZ-S
nice tutorial.
cool blue doremon bike too
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Brother what can i do to increase the sound of fz25 and remove that bulge/unwanted sound at the end of the throttle/rpm.it's too irritating to me whenever i just give a free throttle just to enjoy the ride and feel the power.i have heard ns 200 at high revs, it simply sounds like a roar to me but in my case what i get is tepid sound or a sound with no amplification/filteration
I will look into this topic and update you. Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Thank for your knowledge sharing. I would like to seek similarly video about correct way to shifting gear both up and down.
Nice 👌 video...
I'll definitely do it...
Can u tell me in which bikes we can use quick shifter ..I've FZ25
Loved the TH-cam caption saying "gay ships" instead of gear shifts at 2:42!
Can i do with pulsar 180 or royal enfiled classic
Practice and perfect timing will not harm your gears, ive been doing this clutchless technique for 2yrs and no harm or damage on my duke 390.
I tried this today on a long stretch... It was really great technique... But I admit it isnt easy to do... I might have failed 5/10 times.. But really enjoyed it... Hope i learn it sooner...
I was already doing the same things while riding, then one of my friend told me tht, you will damage your bike by riding like this n all shit, now I got all technicality of it.... Thank you
is this technique can be done on hero glamour bike?
Can we do downshift without using clutch??
And even for sudden stoping using downshift?
Can u explain friction zone of bike ..and esy gear shiting on clutch relse techinic
Can u upload a video on ... Bike rider position like hands style which depends on body angel ( lean forward on the tank or lean forward a little or sitting staright )
Great bro i just hitted subscribe button 😎
Useful info bro keep doing
+Raj Kumar Thanks very much bro. Hope you enjoy my other videos too
hitted?? did you just invent a new English word?
superb tip specialy the last part
sir can we do this with a low cc bike as glamour , spandor ,pashion pro etc......
What would happen to the gear box it might give us some repair which is very expensive
Thanks Vikas.
Same thing occurs. When the throttle is released, then clutch has lesser forward force to engage, this seems some sort of backward force (which partially disengages) is applied to the clutch, which is enough for gearshifts.
Now I am able to do clutchless upshifts and even downshifts on my commuter bike.
sir can u put a video how to change gears on duke 390 plz sir i dont know how to ride a bike
thanks brother for your suggestions. ...your suggestion are soo helpful to me to ride a bike.. heartfully I'm thanking you brother ...and keep suggesting us about bike and riding gears
will this work on all bike especially pulsar ns160
Is clutchless options good on any sport bike from old to new say like 2004 on up? Thanks for your video...
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe..
U think that u r expert in clutchless shifts..then make a clutchless shift from nuetral to 1st gear👍👍
All the best expert
That was amazing buddy , I learned by doing half liver pull i was burning my clutch plate so thanks
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Awesome tip bro... Today I tried in my R15 and it worked butter smooth... I tried in city so was able to upshift 4,5,6 very easily around 7k rpm.. But never worked for 3rd. I think more rpm needed for lower gears like 2 and 3.. Need to try them in next highway ride. I think now on I will only use this method to upshift... It's so quick and easy...
Are there any chances of false neutrals?
While clutchless up shifts?
Can i use this on my r15 vv3
Can clutch less upshift be used in normal clutch
During the throttle blip, Should I completely close the throttle?
Thanks Vikas for one most Important point that i was missing for a good clutch less shift that is to eliminate the play area of the shifter pedal. I saw and learnt it the 1st moment when i saw you doing it on dominar review.
I also would like to share one observation that i picked up while practicing Clutch less. when previous gear is done clutch less on higher rev the next does not need to be at high even at low rev means between 4 - 5K RPM its shifts smoothly
Thanks Sir
Please do share more techniques and skill, waiting for it
Liked the simple way in which you explained it! Thanks from an upcoming motovlogger :)
this technique i use always in my 125 cc bajaj platina :) non dts-si engine 5 speed gear ..... and its very good technique :D thanks bro for more info about this :D
Thank you so much ,you are the best!
Can we do this on Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 ?
Sir I've used this technique in my passion pro bike ,cool
