Always remember that 60% of brake power is with the front brake and 40% on the rear brake. Your doing great mate. I do the same with my Triumph Rocket 3r.
My instructor told me that's nonsense because of road conditions being different all the time, he said just remember that front break is more, rear break is least and both is most.
Supersports are closer to 70% front/ 30% rear. But most effective is both brakes while rev matching. There's nothing stopping u greater. This also minimizes tire lockups.
before I started riding - I didn't think I could ever get the hang of rev matching -it looked so difficult. Now that I have been riding, it is much easier than it originally looked in these videos
I know alot of good riders that dont do this. Im believe it should be done. And it a safer way to down shift in a turn.. its essential to stop super fast.. practice rev matching while using ur front brakes as well. That's an amazing feeling, knowing it can stop u sooo fast.
I've been adding throttle before downshifting but in all honesty a lot of the time I was leaving it too long before shifting gears. Now I've been working on doing it quicker.

I'm still getting the hang of it. It's not perfect yet but it's definitely getting better.

How can i contact you sir?
Out of interest how long you've been living in the US? Did you move for work?
Been here since 2005. I came as a kid so wasn’t for work but glad we made the switch.
@@Lewontwo Ah nice one, surprised you kept your accent in tact!
So do you just twist the throttle and then downshift or are you aiming for a specific RPM (2,000rpm)?
