quick question. 2 weeks into my riding, I noticed I was constantly locking the rear tire up whenever I downshift. I looked at videos and read many articles on how to avoid that. I started blipping the throttle, or I think I am. can someone tell me if I'm doing it wrong? before i tell you my technique, let me tell u how the bike react when I do it. for example, if I'm doing 50 in third gear and want to go down to second after downshifting and blipping I notice the RPM goes up and Still I stay at the same speed, but the rear tire doesn't skid anymore.
Here: Close the throttle while pulling the clutch, let the RPM get just under 5000, downshift, open the throttle about half way and let go off the clutch.. bam!! Rpm shoots up till stay in the same speed limit, but tire doesn't skid... AM i doing it wrong?
