Is there already one ?

[@darthvader7116]

Sorry to drop in but i can give uba piece of advice that always keep in mind the sound of the engine. U think its redlining shift up and if u downshift and u feel engine brake is applied quickly engage the clutch and shift up or apply brake. I don't like using engine braking but professionals use it so its as per ur wish.

[@nikhilk2809]

Thankyou so much! I was thinking this only since a few days that I am doing something wrong! & you just dropped the video today on this! I corrected myself by releasing 20-30% clutch before with just a little bit throttle, the bike goes ahead smoothly! Before I use to give more than a little throttle & the bike just revved so much that my dad got off the backseat in middle of the traffic! My dad just serviced the whole engine a few days ago! Hope I don't break it! I am a beginner!

[@user-dl8ur6ry8m]

I recommend staying in gear at a stop light and keep your eyes on the rearview mirrors. Keep your bike aimed at an escape route. It may save you from being rear ended.

[@VijayKumar-ln5vz]

That's a good idea regarding safety

[@tejaspadhye]

You western people drive at 60mph like its nothing, that's not the case in India. Plus we have way more motorcyclists compared to cars here. Your car drivers are "blind" towards motorcyclists and its okay, but not applicable in India. You can afford to burn your clutch plates but we can't.

I just bought my duke 390. I’ve been having trouble shifting gears. 1-2 is smooth, 2-3-4 is horrrrrible when in slow speeds. When I’m on the highway it does not clunk and make a heavy dhukkkkk sound, but when I’m slow.. ughhhh, I feel like I’m hurting the bike. Was frustrated n your video taught me something new about my bike so I’m happier now haha. Thanks man.

[@rhainezerefla2612]

Try to master the rpm of your bike bro. Thats your hint for rev matching. Whether you go downgear or upgear hihi

[@JamieS1992]

rev matching shouldn't need to be told it should just be natural when you are at 10k rpm and you pulled in the clutch and drop a gear bring the rpm bring the rpm back up to 10rpm or near before letting the clutch go

22k kms done including Leh a few weeks back, still rocking my company fitted clutch plates. I only use clutch while shifting gears.

[@ashish00007]

How do you stop in traffic for 1-2 seconds? 😲

[@rahulbhutani1981]

@@ashish00007 Well, the standard protocol is, unlike chapris, one should slow down and stop at yellow light itself, bring the engine to neutral, turn it off and start when It turns green or is about to (like 5 seconds left at the timer). For bumper to bumper traffic I continue to ride in 3rd gear which goes from 12kmph and all the way upto 75kmph . For any speeds lower than that I stay in 2nd gear which again goes from 0 upto 40kmph without too much stress. I do not engage the clutch even when I am not accelerating, the engine breaking plays a crucial role here, I just drop a gear or two and continue.

as long as you don't release the clutch at speeds that the gear cannot handle without causing heavy engine breaking you should be ok . else you can rev match 4 gears down without using clutch, but it takes a while to understand the engine

Hi Vikas. Good job on the video. Thanks for sharing the details about clutch oil. I'd Like to add something more.
