Will Anyone Notice The Easter Egg In This Video?!

[@oscarjdm23]

@spunkyboyy yo bro I'm local from the area I have gsxr 600 like you, I was wondering if you can teach me to get better. I'm a brand new rider, I need to to improve in cornering and shifting and I'd like to learn from someone knowledgeable like you. I don't have friends that ride so I'd like to pick up good habits as a newbie, instead of figuring it out on my own. Let me know man, thank you.

My one tip for new riders is also don't roll your wrist forward when you grab the throttle and front brake.. This will wear your wrist and potentially lead to giving it too much throttle when you shift up

[@sheridenboord7853]

Remember there is spring between the shifter and the barrel that moves the forks. Under load, hold the lever up and it won't change until you roll of the throttle enuf and the spring will pop the gear thru. Then the rider will realise what is happening. Hold the lever and unload the drive by selecting the correct throttle position. The advantage of not needing the clutch means you can hang on better. Clutch is just for getting rolling in first and selecting neutral. The clutch less method takes some time to get used to and longer to perfect. But it's way worth it if you want control for seamless power delivery thru gear changes for things like monos, turns, sliding, and spinning. Or better still able to change gears while doing all four at once.

[@Bryan-tm6kd]

Thanks. I'm just learning and this is helpful stuff.

[@frost5685]

I did not understand how do we go faster when downshifting 😅

[@dripgotthatdrip]

Downshifting in a motorcycle allows the engine to run at higher RPM, basically just more power to the wheels when you accelerate, engine works harder producing more torque and allowing the motorcycle to go faster.

[@jakesuspect8991]

You got my sub with this video

[@jonathonpursell1268]

That true good idea rev engine up a bit when change down less wear on the clutch if motorbike have rpm counter would help learn to know what rpm and speed for each gear take time and practice that spot on what I heard on the video 👊

[@hadi257]

Why does my gear turn to neutral for no reason after I place my foot my on the lever; after shifting to gear 2??

[@hadi257]

* I didn't even engage the clutch.

[@gavin19613]

I was getting so annoyed because my bike kept making that jerk after I would shift. Not a crazy jerk but the clutch engaging type of jerk. Good to know that your Gixxer does it as well. If I shift really fast it doesn't jerk as much but I just need to be faster. New levers, new friction point lol. Jerk isn't a bad thing though just feels like I'm breaking the bike

[@SpunkyBoyy]

So that’s pretty normal when your learning to have some jerky shifts. As you become better with time, you’ll be much quicker and smoother on the controls, and that will result in ur shifts being faster and much smoother! Ride safe🏍️🤙🏻

[@gavin19613]

@@SpunkyBoyy the shift itself is fine, it's just my throttle input. My bike hates closing and opening the throttle, I hear the rear hiss. I just need to be quicker with my throttle input so it doesn't hiss. It's hard to explain, I feel it in the bike, it's not a smooth input. I'm still working on it though

[@5thgearedlined]

Downshifting is so much fun

[@EdwinDover]

What is the best way to go back into gear when I accidentally hit neutral at speed? Happened a few times, I try to rev match and put it into gear (1st or 2nd) depending on speed. But it almost always kicks in an ugly way.

[@sk1ppy2000]

pull the clutch and either try match the gear you were in, or go up an extra gear, personally i wouldnt try go any lower than the gear you were in when it slips, that can force a nasty engine break if your speed didnt reduce anough. by going to the same or higher gear you wont engine break as much, you will almost coast, and it will allow you to gain speed again, then once you feel the revs at that gear, adust, always eaier to adjust from a higher gear than a lower one. if revs are too low, then drop a gear. rather need to drop a gear after than have to shift back up while engine breaking hard

[@EdwinDover]

@@sk1ppy2000 thanks! I definitely have the clutch in this scenario, but it still jolts the bike. The only thing that consistently works for me is to come to a stop and move it down into 1st...

[@EdwinDover]

It is easily replicated. Ride down the road and instead of shifting from 1-2 instead go to natural. Then try and go into anything from there....

[@SpunkyBoyy]

That’s actually a great question! The bike does clunk a little bit when rolling in neutral and try and put the bike in gear. I usually just put in second with no throttle if that happens, but it does still clunk. I’d say try and avoid doing that if you can, but if u do it every now and then by mistake the bike will be fine.

[@EdwinDover]

@@SpunkyBoyy Always by mistake 💯 thank you 🤙 great content.

[@sehvehn7955]

Dude. Thank you. So precise and to the point. Just what i was looking for. Thank you man

[@kaiko8600]

I'm just confused on how you clutchless down shift. When you "blip" it, do you cut the throttle like in a up shift?? Or do you blip so you get higher rpm's then down shift? Also I basically had the same question on revv matching wiht the clutch, cuase normally you'd cut the throttle and pull the clutch, are you saying to quickly add gas then clutch then down shift?

[@eltongordon6448]

Hey Spunky where could I get a Gixxer fairing kit to purchase (Not American)

[@SpunkyBoyy]

You can find them a lot of different places, if you go on google and type in the fairings you want a bunch of options will come up.

[@balloonredd]

just a question form a newbie, why cant i just leave it at its highest clutch and just drive it like an automatic? also when coming to a stop at a light do i need to be at first/neutral?

[@pestomato]

Do you have to brake first or slow down during clutchless downshifting?

[@LouieMD3]

No "blimping the throttle" while down shifting?

[@bobbymalta73]

Hi mate,i Have a Honda Motorcycle of 2009 do you think i can Shift without the Clutch Cause im affraid i will Harm the Gearbox Cause it's Not A modern Machine i like to Shift Better,Sometimes When i Shift Gears I leave a bit of Revs so i need To Push & Release The Clutch Faster Like You Sad Im a bit Wondering if i can shift without the Clutch cause it is not a Modern bike. When i tryed To Shift Without The Clutch i feel that the Gears Will Get Hard to Shift them without the Clutch. Thank You For Sharing.

[@NathanScaglione100G]

[@j_fuel9995]

[@Brantastic07]

Hey Spunky, what do you think about Hondas DCT automatic bikes?

[@mrterrific2605]

So when upshifting do you release the clutch first then give throttle or do both at the same time?

[@nickcastillo738]

So if you’re in a gear like 5th or 6th, pushing down to downshift won’t put it into first?

[@trainerpool8919]

The hardest thing for me to do is go from 1st to 2nd I go into N
