CBR 600 RR racing against the big Bikes at Automotodrom Brno

Best cbr600 ever, if you want a honda get that one. Zero recalls

[@sp00ky1969]

What were your thoughts on using slicks for the first time and what times were you managing?

[@jacquescrusan9500]

as far as the whole 'not rev-matching while downshifting' thing is concerned: bikes have the advantage of a multi-disc wet-clutch in nearly every scenario, so you don't get the relatively harsh engagement of a dry clutch like a car would, thus allowing you to slip the clutch upon reengagement while braking. As a relatively new amateur, I don't have quite the finesse to maintain constant pressure on the brake lever while rev-matching, so like the video, I forego it entirely. Keep in mind that doing it this way does require you to be quick, intentional and decisive when using the clutch for those downshifts, so it's not going to be something that's learned in one session, but it is something worth having in your back pocket, and I'd argue it's far easier to learn as a foundational skill that isn't as distracting while you're still trying to learn basic skills.

Very nice vid

One question.. Why don't u revvmatch? Is there any reason to not pull the throttle while downshifting?

[@dawidb6648]

its impossible to rev match and break at the same time

[@germanpetrolhead]

It`s not easy to revmatch when your breaking hard and it gives you not much advantages in my opinion

[@Jason.cbr1000rr]

Also not being a slipper clutch too doesn't help, so it's not necessary as he said. On straights sure, to sound cool and does help like all 600s

[@bustercheebs]

its very possible and quite frankly its not that hard actually@@dawidb6648

[@GumI3y]

@BIGBigBoiNICK yes I do. In my car aswell as on my bike

[@tombauerle9996]

Very nice Video

[@fedbet909]

Good video!

[@JkennGG]

New to motorcycles, why don’t you blip the throttle when downshifting? Isn’t that bad for the bike?

[@qsxwdc1234]

nah, you blip the throttle to match the revs for the lower gear, keeps the bike on power and is smoother for the transmission, as far as I know

[@justhesolution]

It’s not bad for the bike. If your clutch work is good, it will be smooth. You just don’t wanna abruptly let out the clutch which could lock up the rear tire. In a race setting like this, he needs to stay on the brakes (trail braking) through the corners

[@JkennGG]

@@qsxwdc1234 I was wondering why the dude that made the video wasn’t blipping the throttle

[@이상빈-g8z]

is it possible to add slipper clutch to old cbr600rr model?

[@germanpetrolhead]

Yes, I added a Suter slipper clutch last year 🙂

[@drivenbyjasonn]

Awesome bike! Do you have a steering dampener or stabalizer? Ride Safe!

[@popdatclutch3010]

Hondas come with an electric dampener, hidden under the plastic

[@germanpetrolhead]

The brake lever is the original of the brembo rcs19 and the clutch lever is from raximo
