SV650 rider, team v-twin !!! lol. Sidenote: This is the first video I've seen on KZbin that THOROUGHLY said to pull the clutch first, kick down a gear second, blip the throttle third, release the clutch fourth.. THANK YOU !!!

[@anthonyb2990]

it can all be done very fast at the same time, as long as the clutch is pulled in first you can kick down a gear second blip the throttle third/at the same time

I'm a new m2 rider , my course didn't really explain proper shifting techniques and smooth downshifting , I'm a mechanical guy too so I know what's going on in the trans etc.. , I just need to learn how my bike likes it done. Great video thanks will watch for more tips

*I've only been riding for a few weeks now. No prior experience... No prior experience with using a clutch in cars always been automatic for me. I'm having a hard time down shifting most times I try your way my timing is off obviously and it keeps jerking me and locking up the back wheel. I've gotten to the point these past few days where I'll shift up in gears(not smoothly), and when I get close to a stop sign or light I'll just hold in the clutch all the way and click the shift lever all the way down to 1st. Is that safe to do or am I going to ruin my ninja 250?*

It wont hurt the bike but its best to learn rev matching. If you are caught in a situation where you have to jump back on the power quickly trying to guess what the proper gear is can be time consuming and distracting. For someone like you with no experience it may take some time to figure it out but if you are locking the tire on a downshift sounds like you are going too low in the gears for the speed you are at. Hope this helps.

Great video

[@GunCollector007]

Good info

[@bigscout1584]

Another way is to get a piece of 2×4 and put it in front of the front tire and try not to go over the board but stop on the board.

Great vid bro. Thanks

[@v-twinadventures2729]

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not the greatest teacher yet lol

[@GoPROfessiona]

I just bought this exact bike

[@v-twinadventures2729]

She was a good bike. Even got me home after my big accident.

[@paulbright7635]

What exhaust have you got on your bike?

[@v-twinadventures2729]

In this video it was the stock Fatboy pipes and I believe the previous owner drilled out the baffles.
