MotoGP Workshop - Changing gears

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Is it because I am a guy, or an engineer, or that I love motorcycle racing? Man I love watching this stuff!

[@lakshmans770]

+Ducati Drew How about all three?

[@SN13K3R]

Ducati Drew same!

[@Rizalreez]

I don’t even know how to ride a motorcycle, but I love watching these and motorcycle races. But I don’t really like supercars and F1..less entertaining..

[@jdmikeg4]

I wish these engineers can modify my Ninja 300's gearbox, so that during my daily commute to work, I can use maximum speed for every corner I take, with minimal power loss. It would make my ride to work that much more convenient.

[@rockywow]

Your on a 300 not a 1000 i don't think you should worry about power loss and your not Rossi yet, id concentrate on riding safely. What I can agree with you is on my bike, i'd prefer if i down shifted to go up in gear

[@Sunedosa]

Alex Campbell I'd hazard a guess that he was being sarcastic and joked about the limited need/usefulness of this in real every day life.

[@bludika]

you can't do shit on that 300 cc pussyass bike on the streets

[@Rfsancho]

***** Haha. I ride a stock cbr600rr, merely a powercommander and a few comfort mods, nothing special at all, and what you speak of is completely true, stock transmission in a corner is a nono. Changing gear laying low is not even the LAST of my thoughts, it's not in my thought process at all. That'd be scary shit.

[@Mudux]

+Turklimanc so, with 1 year after your comment, did you learned what this seamless gearbox actually i, or do you still like to speak nonsense like is the truth?

[@Jonathan.Moberg]

0:12 did that guy just wheelie in the backround?

[@ianciborowski2983]

MotorBros yep

[@Mr-lk8zl]

MotorBros yeah :P

[@TheGregouze35]

haha awesome

[@anirudhkodaru151]

XD

[@moskovsparta8313]

Yup just a normal race day at motogp

[@5teff219]

Brilliant, need more content like this!!! :)

[@Kakabeblen]

I learned a lot from this :)

[@robwinter3183]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@eubikedude]

@KekasihMuGelap- some production bikes already have up/down quickshifters as factory options e.g. the latest BMW GS/RT/XR, Ducati Panigale and others. You can also get kits to fit them to a bike that does not have a factory option. I have fitted it on my own bike and it's really nice.

[@crad5476]

0:32 leaving the cameraman outside in the hot weather? Man, not nice.

[@combatmako]

Sweet !! Thank you! More! ✌️❤️😁

[@combatmako]

Oops. I see there are many.... Thank YOU!

[@Cak.Herman]

Di masa ini motogp sangat ketat persainganya walaupun sudah menggunakan elektronik,mata penonton di manjakan dgn aksi salip menyalip menarik di tonton yg pasti.

[@URBANENGINEER]

Absolutely Brilliant.

[@lucasandre8440]

Love this Work Shop Videos! More!

[@_MrAyOuB]

Great explanation!

[@KekasihMuGelap]

Can these clutchless (is it the right terminology) downshifting goes into the production motorcycle in the future?

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Already is on BMW, Ducati, and Yamaha.

[@christidmas3995]

It will happen for sure I think.

[@henrykoplien1007]

It is. Buy a zx10rr, it comes with a quick shifter on a regular basis.

[@flyingdog1498]

Yes

[@noelcruz7143]

in actuality, mopeds/underbones in Asia is virtually clutchless (i,e. no clutch lever) specifically almost anything below 125cc... as for bigger bikes, electronics are the way to go

[@Felipe-rw3vw]

So, they only use the clutch for the start?

[@reezlaw]

+Andrés Felipe Espinal Rojas So it seems... amazing

[@lillnemo1]

+Felipe yes, so appearently a motogp bike is way EASIER to drive LOL

[@Mr-lk8zl]

Felipe Start and Downshifts

[@marlranle5877]

no they still use clutch.clutch is important in the start.

[@christidmas3995]

Yes

[@MasterChief-sl9ro]

They should make quick change gear boxes on all production bikes. It makes working on them 10 times easier...

[@max_955]

i don't think this system it's suppose to last long...

[@417Jigsaw]

Great video. Did he say that an ECU matches RPMs for downshifting without ant throttle input?

[@topsunnn]

Yeah i think so

[@straight_intro]

antonio ivanov the ecu does it automatically, the engine pulls the gas automatically

[@santosjerez1586]

Afters years of having a MotoGP Quick shifter having it installed , Dyno Jet PC4 ..... should make riding the roads faster and more enjoyable ...

[@Pertamax7-HD]

yeah electronic :D

[@dipset2ify]

My dream job is to do what these guys do... Wanna know how to get into it.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Google Motorcycle Mechanic Schools in Daytona Beach, FL.

[@TheKickBeck]

Similar to a 'bazzaz quik shifter'. Great video!

[@BimBims]

ooh gitu toh, keren pake sistem seamless tanpa pake kopling untuk up gear dan down gear

[@MyRomy18]

bukan seamless itu, klo untuk upshift pasang QuickShifter ( yg bahkan ninja 250 pun bisa ), nah yg downshift ini oleh mekaniknya kgk disebutin perangkatnya namanya apa, pokoknya kerjnya buka tutup katup kupu2 ( butterfly valve ) di Throtlle Body sehingga seakan2 kabel gas memuntir buka tutup.

[@BimBims]

Wah tengkyu bro penjelasannya, iya soalnya enak banget ganti gearnya cpt banget liatnya

[@BwScOpEz]

They have a neutral, That's how they warm up the bikes in the paddock with out having to put them on rollers. You don't want a cold engine for racing, It will be more prone to seize.

[@frankbutaric3565]

Wonder how long before they fit automatic transmissions on gp bikes.

[@akupehsluarketatAR]

manufacturers should have that electronic thingy that disengage the clutch during shifting on production bikes. Cars already have it today.

[@Des_and_Katrin]

Thanks

[@SlimMGV]

They do have them. On the high performance bikes. Or u can buy one and install it or just learn to blip shift.

[@akupehsluarketatAR]

SlimMGV yeah i found one on ebay its pretty expensive. i do blip shift but having to use the clutch repeatedly around town gives me the cramp.

[@philipcooper8297]

It does not disengage the clutch. Quick shifter cripples the ignition for couple of mili seconds, it's the same like when you cut the throttle to shift up/down. It can't even disengage the clutch, the only motorcycle that could disengage the clutch when you operated the gear lever was made by Jawa ages ago, it was semi-automatic, fully mechanical. They still hold the patent, so not gonna see that any soon. The quick shifter unit can be mounted on any motorcycle with manual gearbox. @akupehsluarketatAR, you do not have to use the clutch to shift up at all, and if you're good enough you do not even need to use it to shift down. But I must warn you, if you down shift when the speed of the final driver and the engine is not equal, you can damage your gear box. To shift up, just cut the throtle, kick it up, then back on throttle. Once you try it, it won't go back. Faster you go, more revs you have, easier it is.

[@zschambill]

quickshifter，comes as standard on a triumph 675r and some other high performance bikes

[@shakes6551]

cheers for this

[@MultiGenenobili]

I'm so confused right now.. He clearly said that the first gear is up but in race start all the racers are pushing the gear down before the race so what gear are they using at start up? Second gear? Please someone answer me hahaha

[@hasahchan4775]

The first gear up is for CRT team bikes, they using street bikes such as NGM used BMW s1000r

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

what do they use the clutch pedal for then?

[@Vickyrocks247]

oxfordbambooshootify To downshift..and at the start line...

[@oxfordbambooshootify]

Yeah i know not like a car's clutch pedal but u know what i mean

[@cristianbailey8407]

for a hard downshift

[@christidmas3995]

Clutch lever to start off the line and select first gear

[@MrDjrecon]

Nice Collin Edwards is a good friend of mine.

[@Kamen_trader-n5p]

Ganti gear set tanpa belah mesin..ajib dah

[@MotorsportsTamizhil]

Can't understand the downshift part clearly.

[@Laddiadvocate]

One question why Its so much easier to 1 Down and 5 Up

[@gokulkrishm51]

Because it's easier to press the shifter down when you're doing 200 and full lean :)

[@kramler]

gear shift is as with motocross also

[@An.Individual]

This is OUT OF DATE. The following year MotoGP started to use seamless gearbox.

[@naufalyusufgania5366]

ChainsawDude Check the upload date ya idiot

[@luisrgzv]

What a Quality !

[@ewanzol]

did the racer still press the throttle during changing the gear up?

[@lillnemo1]

+Ewan Zolkarnain no

[@flyingdog1498]

No upshift under full throttle, downshift with throttle closed, computer does the rest.

[@GixxerManiac420]

I mean high end,modern sports bikes come equipped from showroom floor with quick shifters for up shiftbut not the downshift, guess that technology had to trickle down from the pros. That's why I love motogp more then just the racing there so advanced that they move our street bikes ahead in technology leaps and bounds over what the average trial and error ever would be able to accomplish.

[@Lolloz89]

Not sure of this, but I think they have no neutral..

[@ernesto4078]

Love clutch

[@jstnnnnn]

2:43 comin' in hot!

[@Chase_Myles]

damn....i will b there someday....

[@allday3433]

1:30 dead ass on safety lol

[@rutabuga]

what bike is this?

[@hasahchan4775]

Basic engine from S1000R

[@dougiequick1]

As a matter of fact my first race bike not only had reverse shifting it was also on the RIGHT side of the motorcycle (as were Spanish bikes on the right too albeit with conventional shift direction) down for up was common with early british bikes. I actually preferrec pressing down to shift up as in racing it is easier/faster more critical to get right accelerating where as downshifting you are slowing anyway.so less of the panick...I have always hated that nuetral is between gears it seems stupid (I mean we have a CLUTCH to work with so WTF?? WHY place it between gears???? I personally would prefer the moto gp method with the special lever for nuetral clicking all the way up to nuetral and clicking down to upshift Btw my british race bike ALSO had a cassete gearbox that could be removed in minutes without removing the engine or splitting the cases....even though I never needed to as that tranny was bullet proof and shited perfectly unlike my first bike a Yamaha that I blew 3 gear on multiple times and shifted like crap compared to my AJS

[@bufalong]

Can enter first gear without clutch?

[@flyingdog1498]

NO

[@max_955]

yes.

[@mamajibapu175]

No seamless shift for Colin.....bummer

[@Rzkjr]

whaat ? can someone explain why 1st is UP and rest is DOWN?

[@loveobd628]

I Don't really understand too. If you watch the races Or fp's or on KZbin motogp Testing their is Also the first gear down if they Go on the Bike for their turn.

[@flyingdog1498]

@@loveobd628 Simple, First is up the rest are down, where is the confusion?

[@loveobd628]

@@flyingdog1498 For me their is no confusion. In My opinion is since Two or three years even first gear down. Watch SBK or GP Testing.

[@scottdesmaretz5045]

👍👍👍👍

[@NothingToYou]

And it is for those exact reasons why I pay attention to this shit.

[@amirshahmi]

did they use clutch to brake?

[@Vickyrocks247]

Amir Shahmi No they don't... most of the riders use only front brakes.... rest is done by compression braking from engine :-)

[@rgm_]

RIDERS GOT TALENT wat about downshifts..??

[@jamiedyer7782]

you dont use front brake coming into corners because you'll load up the front suspension then the bike will jerk back on the rear suspension. when you brake you use the front and rear brake to slow then trail the back brake off when you are at the correct speed and gear

[@nikobd9984]

@Jamie dyer, that's not correct. You use the rear break maybe at some time to stabilize the bike other than that front brake only.

[@christidmas3995]

All taken care of by slipper clutch plus back brake

[@hezriehezrie8411]

oooo,i see

[@PeterKoperdan]

If I understand this correctly, MotoGP bikes are basically semi-auto. What?

[@harisyoung4110]

no... manual clutch same with road clutch bike... it equiped with quickshifter system thats why they dont need to release throtlle and no clutch need to upshifting..

[@harisyoung4110]

you also can do it on normal bike, upshifting without clutch.. just need to release a bit throttle before upshifting... need a lot of practice to get used because the timing when you release abit throttle and when to upshift is important to make it shift smoothly... i done it all the time on track with my aprillia rs250 without problem to the engine... just done rebuild the engine because want use performance main bearing and no problem to gearbox after inspecting it..

[@MPI1000]

The MotoGP bikes are kind of semi-auto, yes. They cut ignition on upshift (quickshift) and have "autoblippers" on downshift. So you only have to use the clutch from standstill. Then again many higher-end road bikes also have this today, even big adventure bikes like the R1250GS and KTM 1290 SA. What they have added somewhat recently in the MotoGP bikes is "seamless" shifting, which is some voodoo where you don't even cut the ignition, you get no dip in acceleration at all. Not all have this, but at least the Honda and Yamaha factory bikes do have it.

[@flyingdog1498]

@@MPI1000 The same technology on the BMW bikes, upshot without the cutch, ECU cut the throttle to speed match, down shit with e throttle closed and the ECU "blips" the engine speed to speed match.

[@radrcer]

Thanks for the post. Wouldn't it be great if gears came out of the side on all streetbikes? Dropping the engine and splitting the case is such a beutch

[@TanmayChhatbar]

radrcer Service and maintenance adds to the revenue of companies. If everyone could do it at home, they'd lose profit.

[@smokebadger]

It's easy on my zx 10. Dont need to drop engine on it.

[@flyingdog1498]

BMW has this technology as an option on virtually all their motorcycles.

[@GixxerManiac420]

Well when you have 250 hp on a 350lb rocket I think that's already enough to handle to warrant the aided shifting. Everyone knows about quick shifting for higher gears but that's interesting they control the throttle blip for the down shifts. I guess if you had to do it manually you would risk over revving the match and could chance disrupting the weight transfer on front wheel when ur trying to brake hard to slow ur machine from 200 mph.

[@hanskjellsson2319]

The only reason is that The Electronic is so much faster then human. A PRO rider dont overrev on downshifts..you learn your non PRO bikes down revs in a couple of hours, these guys job is to ride bikes, so I guess they would figure it out in a heart beat :)

[@noelcruz7143]

not to mention potential mechanical issues, in the long run...

[@puckslider6443]

Rossi has the neutral in the topend (upwards). And all other gears down …

[@dikoadrian9117]

0:13 there's someone wheelie on mini bicycle :D

[@sarimrizvi]

Added weight with the whole hydraulic mechanism I suppose. Also, I think as they are not relying much on the clutch lever for changing. Hydraulic mechanism would be an unnecessary addition.

[@krskampuchea]

on tv on racing bike, I never see any movement of clutch handle or foot changing gear: am I blind?

[@CptnBarker]

I don't know for sure because I do not work in a MotoGP workshop, but as far as I know, cable clutches are heavier and have less input linearity when compared to hydraulic clutches. HCs can also be more expensive to maintain, what seems irrelevant when you have millions in cash to spend anyway. Personally, I think it's a case of using simple technology that you know willget the job done while keeping the motorcycle light.

[@mudvayne9790]

hmmm kinda disappointed that shifting is so automated. but i guess to ride at this level you need every little bit of help. Very cool video none the less. and very interesting technology behind these motorcycles

[@robwinter3183]

I think one of my shift forks is worn - so can I pull the entire clutch /trans out - without dropping the entire motor? bike is a Suz. 89 gsxr 750. Shifting still works - just sometimes can't find neutral when downshifting from 2nd to 1st. Thoughts?

[@aaravsaini4377]

dont know much about bikes but maybe you should ask this in a recent video, so people can see it and answer, chances of them seeing your comment on an 8 year old video are probably really low haha

[@ChuppyCata]

i ride a regular 2002 R6 and i never use the clutch other than launch and stop.

[@shehzadsolkar1400]

Very good explanation he gave. But how they match the revs of the bike is it by using the clutch raising throttle and down shift at the same time for each down shift.

[@hasahchan4775]

There is auto blipper and slipper clutch

[@vonbayernDE]

Casett gearbox.

[@awhiteguy24]

I was wondering why this seemed so dated. It's from 5 years ago. Quickshifters are become standard on bikes.

[@ryanharriss7950]

Most of this is pretty standard except for the gear change direction. Was hoping for a bit more tech.

[@ze_german2921]

You can install a Slipper Clutch and whats called a "Quick Shift" into your personal Bike, You will not regret it.

[@mrpoopybutthole6314]

ZGERMAN it doesn’t slip the clutch it cuts signal to the ignition coil/coils which makes the engine stop making power therefore unloading the transmission and allowing for a shift

[@tarunkumar9680]

So they use the clutch only during the launch ?
