I did it yesterday and can confirm. I downshifted from 3rd to 2nd gear on my Honda Unicorn at about 30kmph, There was a very loud grinding noise, The rear wheel locked up immediately and skidded and my bike stalled in the middle of the road. Things could have gone south very easily
@@ardwivedi16 any new maneuver you learn should be practiced in an empty parking lot away from traffic before you take it out to the street for your safety and others. Mainly for others safety cuz obviously you don’t care about your own. Numbnuts.
Tried it a couple times on my 400 until one moment when I did it I could feel the chain jumping out of the front sprocket and spun freely till it found itself back on the front sprocket. Never again
@@AdolfHitler-pm3lc it damages the gearbox, it can also cause your rear wheel to lock up and it's also very dangerous to do this in busy traffic because of the sudden jerk you give to the throttle. I Have downshifted couple of times on my dad's Royal Enfield Classic 500 and so far apart from the sudden jerks there hasn't been any issues.
I’m not going to like I road manual cars, did it sometimes and when I did it accidentally I was like “ this guy added a quick shifter” nice. Then I realized the same thing lol
I find it much easier to apply slight upwards pressure before upshifting, then roll off the throttle a bit. It will upshift by itself without you needing to apply more upwards force, and does feel a lot smoother. Also applies to downshift, apply slight downwards pressure then blip the throttle. It'll go in by itself. It does help to also be braking as well.
Oh, interesting. That's how I shift already, but also pull in the clutch just enough for the gear to change.... Makes me wonder how different simply *not* working the clutch would feel 🤔
@@thefaboo On my bike, it feels similar but you get more resistance if you rolled off the throttle not quite right. However, you get on the power again quicker. Pulling in the clutch a little bit does make it even smoother though.
For beginner its a good thing for getting the feeling first but beware it can tear your shift fork, its like your hand always holding or resting your hand on manual car.
A lot of people think the main point in clutchless downshifting is matching the revs. Blipping the throttle serves the same purpose as releasing throttle on a clutchless upshift. Instead of the transmission being unloaded on the transition from acceleration to deceleration, it’s unloaded on the transition from deceleration to acceleration. The rev matching is just a byproduct. You can clutchless downshift and completely under or over blip, but as long as you complete the shift during the transition from no throttle to throttle blip, it will still slip into the lower gear like butter. You may have some wheel hop just like if you under blip a regular downshift, but the gear change will still be smooth and leave the transmission unharmed because it’s completed during an unloaded state just like a clutchless upshift.
I'm not a street guy, I'm a two-stroke dirt guy, but that shouldn't make a difference, I find your shorts very useful, and informational, especially your short on the difference between cable and wire throttle. And the jigster jokes are hysterical.
When I was taught how to do this in a 18 wheeler, it was the most satisfying thing I had done up to that point. I love floating gears. Have to give this a shot on my bike tomorrow.
On my gixxer on up shifts the best way I've found it works is putting gentle pressure on the gear shift lever and then closing the throttle BRIEFLY by one third from where it was. If you're at 30% throttle you bring it down to 20% and then back to normal. It just snikets into the next gear as smooth as possible. But that's on a gixxer thaw. Your mileage may very.
I just discovered this last week lol (driving about a year with a clutch) its really great when the road not too busy but in bust traffic I prefer the clutch
Well get a bike like mine it's got slipper clutch n quick shifter when downshifting if you are trying to downshift clutchless n the speed is too fast it simple won't let you until it is a safe speed to downshift. 🤣
Been clutchless upshifting for awhile now on my k5 gsxr1000, its no different from having a quickshifter (had a bi directional quickshifter on my 2016 s1000rr) you take load off the gears by releasing the throttle the same as a quickshifter, though the quickshifter has a load cell in the shifter link and does it by cutting ignition to take load of the gears so that you dont have to release the throttle. Theres no harm in doing that, i have not done the clutchless downshift but it would work in the same way that a bi direction quickshifter works, in this video he blips the throttle on the downshift, the same way a bi directional quickshifter would blip the throttle for you (usually on ride by wire bikes) After owning a s1000rr with a bi directional quickshifter it's smooth and effortless, now having a k5 1000 that doesnt have a quickshifter I found it much smoother to clutchless shift the k5, its quicker, less jerky and less overall effort. I will have to try to learn how to clutchless downshift though and shouldn't be harmful to the gearbox if done correctly as all new bikes with ride by wire and bi directional quickshifters are also auto blipping to enable the rider to downshift without using the clutch
I can definitely confirm that clutchless upshifting cant be too hard on the bike as my 2003 KLX125 has had the same clutch and transmission gears as it had since I got it. I never clutchless downshift though.
This is basically how you would change gears on a semi-manual motorcycle ... Here in Malaysia there are semi manual motorcycle like lc135 and many more where it doesn't have a clutch but still needs to change gears manually unlike a scooter where its fully automatic
On the downshift (at least as long as it’s casual needed to slow down but you don’t need full engine braking yet) let all the way off the throttle and then roll back on it the ever so slightest and hold it there (so you’re on throttle but not accelerating) and you can cleanly and freely drop it down as many gears as you want
What helped me with clutchless downshifting is to think of it less like a throttle “blip” and more like a blip where you don’t then release the throttle, you crack it quickly and maintain throttle. This allows it to downshift without being so jarring, much like you would with revmatching.
@@lamefart Not in the typical sense. When referring to rev matching, generally the clutch is used. What he is referring to does not utilize the clutch at all.
I do clutchless upshifts 2nd gear upwards all the time. I don't dare do downshifts though, even though my motorcycles gearbox is known for being really slick.
So that's why! I tried a clutchless underbone motorcycle (first time riding a motorcycle) but the one who taught me didn't mention anything about blipping the throttle during the downshift so the knee jerk motion during downshift is very, very noticeable.
I HAD to do this the other day, was riding around at a quarry w some friends and dumped my bike and snapped off my clutch lever 😂 spent the next hour or so riding around using minimal clutch just to start/stop (we used a LOT of electrical tape to hold it in place enough for me to engage the clutch, worked surprisingly well tbh), but I would just end up putting around in 2nd or 3rd while my friends were tearing up the quarry having fun 😂.
It's funny how in the 9-speed A/T diesel Honda CR-V, when you slow down and it downshifts it would sort of lurch forward as it would rev-match on its own unlike the gas A/T where it would be a smoother downshift. Lol
Clutchless upshifting im comfortable with b/c the engine will naturally be slowing down the mainshaft the second it is taken out of gear but for an upshift it requires a rising engine rpm to shift smoothly
I clutch less uplift all the time but I'm not a fan of down shifting without the clutch. I have a big heavy Cbr1100xx Super Blackbird . There is a lot of pressure on the chain/clutch when you do clutch less down shifts.
I did too, no gear indicator and I was brand new so it confused the hell out of me. Just put a little too much pressure on the shifter and I didn’t even notice. The instructors were getting pissed because I kept pulling in the clutch on slower turns because it was bogging down. Nerve-racking as hell and the pricks I had as instructors weren’t helpful at all.
I can see a WHOLE lot of bent shift forks as a result of this video lol! The only time this should ever be used is to get you home if your clutch cable snapped! If you read any manual it’ll clearly warn you to use the clutch when shifting or you are as greater risk of damaging the transmission in one way or another. Both my r6 and 636 service manuals say this
Do this in a parking lot or empty road while not going fast. You don't get the feedback like floating gears in a car so you can definitely mess something up and go down easily.

Just use the clutch, guys. If you don't want to die
Its definetly an emergency skill, it is not recommended everytime when clutching but if the clutch do get a problem then it'll be useful
If you don’t want to die and or kill your transmission because if done wrong you will destroy your transmission
On the upshift it is fine but never on a down shift

Pressure on the shifter before the clutchless shift will smoothly go into gear and less wear
That's what I do in clutchless manual motorcycles.
I liked that last line. Subscribed in a beat.
I try this on my 150 cc, I can do upshifts pretty good. Although downshifts still need alot of work.
That’s why I love my quick shifter. Stay on the throttle pinned all day long and shift.
ill just use my clutch tyvm
Anyone with a Honda CB/CBR650R should get a racetorx shift support(Or any shift support), makes clutchless up shifting feel SO much better.
I'm happy with my quickshifter + blipper. Thanks for knowing tho
I got my license last year but damn I never knew you could change gears without using the clutch
As a gsxr rider I accidentally learned it 1 day completely randomly and now I do it every single time I shift up or down. Who needs a quickshifter 😅
