Great video mate! However you mention that you need to blip your throttle while upshifting. As far as my understanding goes, blipping your throttle would increase the RPMs of the bike and since we're upshifting, we are looking to reduce the RPMs. In order to do this, I recommend letting go off the throttle for a second and shifting simultaneously and then starting to accelerate again. I understand that this is what you meant but I just thought I'd point out to you the difference in the terminology. Blipping the throttle is what one should do while downshifting in order to rev match. Apart from that small terminology mistake? (not quite sure I'd call it a mistake, but i hope you get what i mean to say) , great video. I believe this will really help increase the knowledge of fellow bikers in India in order to ride better. I recommend making a video on Rev Matching as well if you haven't already. That's a great way of maintaining your clutch's life. I've been doing it for a while now and I've noticed that your riding is a lot smoother when you rev match. It also gives you the feeling that you're riding a superbike!
+Sidhant Kacker You are absolutely correct mate.. My mistake, I got confused with the terminology... I loved your constructive feedback... Thanks very much for the support..
raj chaudhari I disagree with you. What Vikas Sir has mentioned is correct. Infact clutchless upshifting will help so many riders increase their speed. He only made a small mistake with the terminology and being a human, that's completely acceptable. Nobody is perfect and just because you can't appreciate the efforts someone puts in, doesn't give you the right to say that their videos are useless. Every video on youtube is for a particular use to someone or the other. Even the Nyan cat videos have a purpose - to entertain! So I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with your comment.
I don't have a slipper clutch on my pulsar 150, but downshifts are absolutely possible. I have all the gears in one direction so I can actually come to a full halt without using clutch. I am going to miss this feature in my next bike 😑
Killer technique boss. For those saying this will ruin the bike, it will only do so if you don't time your wrist action properly. You will cause a jerk to the drivetrain that is in fact harmful. Trying to shift before blipping the throttle is nearly always futile, as the engaged gear still has power going through it and therefore will not disengage (the force from your foot is not enough to overcome the friction between the engaged dogs). If you do manage to shift it, you will feel a forward jerk. Not getting back on the throttle immediately after the shift (Especially on bigger engines) will jerk you back as the engine has already started decelerating. These are probably some things which may give one the feeling that their bike is chewing itself up from the inside. While preloading the gear lever is not entirely necessary(I seldom do it on my Dominar, shifts amazing anyway), it is a great way to ensure a positive, immediate shift as soon as you blip. However, I do have some doubts as to what happens to the gear selector forks(in short, making one part rub against another at high revs). It would be great if someone could shed some light on this. This works BETTER at high revs as there is a high possibility of the dogs on the next gear having a synchronized position with the input, therefore, it always works, as the dogs are flying past each other so fast. The reason this is smooth as hell is because your engine can easily transfer its momentum to the bike(in the next upper gear) instantaneously. It doesn't have to rev match, burn clutch and lurch to the right RPM. Now that IS BAD for the clutch. The mistake that could be made here is a weak force on the lever. Or shifting at loo low an RPM. When trying this out the first time I once had it pop out of gear in second and go into neutral(like Vikas said, don't use it first to second to begin with :P) Just to reiterate what's in the video, Sequence: Accelerate Preload Shifter *Very quickly(less than a quarter of a second) Off the throttle Shift for real(quick and surely, it WILL shift) On the throttle Smile and ride away like a boss Happy riding folks and thanks Vikas for the great video!
So while doing clutchless upshifting, we don't have to completely let go of the throttle; just the blip will be enuf, right? (can anyone clarify this) TIA
this was like trying mechanical magic for me Vikas, been riding since was 15 but surprisingly enough no one ever told me about trick.. tried it for the first time today and guess what, can't thank you enough bro. Appreciate your genuinity!
I saw this video 4 years back, and man...! I never lost a single drag race on mu Rr310 after learning this, and now I can do both clutch less upshift and downshifts.. ..!
I've been doing clutch-less upshifts for more than 4 years now on my pulsar....Never had any problems with clutch or gearbox........ I learned about clutch-less shifts from RJ's videos. He always does clutch-less upshifts on his Grom and Nuda.
I always use this technique, just releasing throttle one degree or so upshift gears. I learned It automatically. Now watching your video, I am thumping my skill.
Thanks a lot for this information....i did it on my Fzs ..many times without knowing the facts .. and was thinking that it would damage the machine...but now doubt cleared and knew its an authorised process....now i need more practice...to make it perfect...
year ago...i hav started doin on my ninja 250r upshift..down shift ! d way u showed is perfctly ...good , n it dnst harm to clutch plate ! ! many ppl dont knw how to shift gear ! best video for new comers !
I learnt double clutching recently and it was so great i enjoyed using it in mountains totally on my avenger street 220 and it made my bike totally controllable on high speeds while cornering and racing with ns200 in himachal and now i will try this hope i will get this done right and dont screw my bike.. 😅 this is a totally amazing trick thanx for this video sir...
This technique i hv bn using from 2009 end on my r15 that time i dont know whether its clutchless or anything else.i was doing that to relief my fingers from pulling the clutch on long drives...good to see peoples are doing this and named this as clutchless
Nice one.... I have done it before accidentally but didn't know this technique. I could do it on my gixxer 155 while upshifting and it feels great. Thanks for sharing this.
I was already doing the same things while riding, then one of my friend told me tht, you will damage your bike by riding like this n all shit, now I got all technicality of it.... Thank you
Thanks man..i was really confused on how to really do clutchless shifting..had too many advices from many experienced riders, but still i was not able to do it...now this vid explained it very well.. clutchless shifting rocks...thanks again ...
Bring acceleration to zero and shift gear up and race quick.... This is what the blip.... I'm doing it for years but I never think or focussed... Thank you
I couldn't get ur old video about this topic ,but this video was so we'll explained,i think i got it now. ill try it tomorrow morning and will write back the result.
hahahahaha wow just go by feeling man, above parking lot speeds countersteering works. Perhaps if you understand why it works, you won't have such a confusion. It is simple centrifugal force at play. You would notice even in a car, that when you steer right into a hard right hander, your body would be pushed in the opposite direction. In a car however, there are two wheels on the outside to maintain stability and course of direction. In a bike, you use this physics, to tip the bike over into a lean in the direction you want to go, faster. Does not mean that if you continue to countersteer through the entire corner, it is good. You just countersteer to get the bike to tip over faster after that you very much need to steer into the corner.
It is something that most people will do naturally. If you have ever ridden a bike then you have counter steered without even realizing it. At slow speeds you turn your wheel in the direction that you want to turn, but once you go over a certain speed (lets say 15 mph) then you will naturally begin to counter steer. When i counter steer I push the handle bar in the direction i want to go instead of pulling it. It is a very slight movement that helps the bike tip into the turn. I would say that you should transition from normal steering to counter steering once you have momentum going in a specific direction. Hope this helps.
If you want to learn countersteering watch Twist of the wrist from Keith code . In simple terms , if there is a left hand curve , push the left handle bar in opposite direction of the turn , like you are moving in right side . When you do this you will see that your bike is immediately leaned over to the left . Vice versa for right hand turn .
Thanks Vikas bhai, Today I learnt from your video and I even tried it. Now I can go from 1st to 5th gear without using any clutch. The moment I did it, I was so damn happy , I was literally laughing , giggling through out my journey. Thanks man. 😋😆
I tried this today on a long stretch... It was really great technique... But I admit it isnt easy to do... I might have failed 5/10 times.. But really enjoyed it... Hope i learn it sooner...
Thanks Vikas. Same thing occurs. When the throttle is released, then clutch has lesser forward force to engage, this seems some sort of backward force (which partially disengages) is applied to the clutch, which is enough for gearshifts. Now I am able to do clutchless upshifts and even downshifts on my commuter bike.
many of my friends also told me that rev matching on downshifts puts strain on the engine. I tried explaining to them that as long as the gear i shift down to stays under the red-line, that is not possible, but some folks are just stubborn in this country no point trying to explain yourself to them. Life works in a very binary way for them and most just do as they are told.
Awesome tip bro... Today I tried in my R15 and it worked butter smooth... I tried in city so was able to upshift 4,5,6 very easily around 7k rpm.. But never worked for 3rd. I think more rpm needed for lower gears like 2 and 3.. Need to try them in next highway ride. I think now on I will only use this method to upshift... It's so quick and easy...
Thanks Vikas for one most Important point that i was missing for a good clutch less shift that is to eliminate the play area of the shifter pedal. I saw and learnt it the 1st moment when i saw you doing it on dominar review. I also would like to share one observation that i picked up while practicing Clutch less. when previous gear is done clutch less on higher rev the next does not need to be at high even at low rev means between 4 - 5K RPM its shifts smoothly Thanks Sir Please do share more techniques and skill, waiting for it
this technique i use always in my 125 cc bajaj platina :) non dts-si engine 5 speed gear ..... and its very good technique :D thanks bro for more info about this :D
thanks brother for your suggestions. ...your suggestion are soo helpful to me to ride a bike.. heartfully I'm thanking you brother ...and keep suggesting us about bike and riding gears
Wow, I said that before when you talked about the gear sprokets, excuse my incorrectness, at CBT it was so very bad 1st time on a yamaha in 1990, terrible I was not at all understanding so many things about even stalling due to grabbing the gear lever, thinking it was a bicycle back break! Aggh. So you described exactly when I could not shift into first gear instead of remaining sllowing neutral gear and oh well. I am very glad. However, when I did get to the feel of what as a total novice, of the pull of the bike using clutchless revolutions at top of 2nd gear then third, I locked back wheel at end of the runway, due to grabbing agsin, the clutch, eithout using my left foot change and had to put my left foot down to spin at that point to turn on a sixpence, used accelerator to control spin then back wheel put me right on the ball snd I accelerated suddenly got that old engine happy and got a round of applause! Cannot explain but feel less silly now. Many thanks x
Vikas loads of respect excellent Job add more videos to this playlist also show proper closing of bike with all its parts changing customizing and basic fixes one can do on their own
this technique really helpful for my dazzler.... Thank you very much... I like your way to explain difficult thins with so easy way... Thank you so much again....
Hahaha sb RPM ka khel h boss.... . Dosto jese tum upshit krna sikh rhe ho same iske opposite m km RPM m tum log downshift bhi kr skte ho without harming the engine... . Ye koi rocket science nhi h its very easy n useful...
Technique like you should learn on smaller bikes where mistake won't be as big a deal.... Once you master upshifts you can also do down shifts like while slowing down raise the rpm for a second and downshift because when you down shift the rpm of the lower gear is always more. It helped me a lot when my bikes clutch cable broke and had to bring my bike home in Mumbai ka traffic.. Stopping without clutch is scary.. Because when you stop you have to put the bike in neutral and without clutch bike doesn't go in neutral and again going from stopped position you have to push the bike and then put it in first gear or the bike will jerk and stop
Haha.... I always do this kind of shifting.... But i really didnt knew there was a term for this and i thought it harmed the bike but it feels so good this way that i didnt care about the damage... Gald to know that it doesn't harm the bike...
Well i didnt knw if this was a correct technique but i always use to shift in the same way. Good to knw that i was doing right thing all along. Also i do the downshift without clutch. BTW my bike is cbz 150
Some people think that they are teaching some heroic deeds and are self experts. Guys please remember that these techniques are for race tracks where you are trying to save fraction of seconds . It is not suppose to be done under any circumstances on public roads and most importantly not on your daily commuting and personal super bikes. Please emphasize on good and safe riding habits.We Indians are idiots who think that since the guys on the race track are doing it then we can also do it anytime. Think for a while they do on machines which are just used for a single race track and then they are never used. They just dump it after a single race. They are all assembled for the particular race. Please do not make a habit of doing this on your personal bikes. As I said always emphasize on good riding habits. You are not going to own anything by saving fraction of seconds on public roads. However I have seen people losing life in fraction of seconds.You may accidentally make it worse while concentrating on this technique on the roads. Its a universal thing where proper clutch engagement should be done for better engine life and its a text book theory. Also always remember race track machines are specifically build for race and not for other purpose. Rest is all upto you. Your money , your machine.
i think you ride an activa and you are'nt capable of anything more and your brain capacity is sow low that you actually need to take your concentration off the road just for a gear shift which is easier than the normal shifting and is better for your clutch than normal engage and disengage of the clutch if its done right and you are probably watching poonam pandeys cleveage on youtube more often and stumbled across this video by mistake and have never seen the rest of his videos which are more focused towards safety and precautions, better savings per kilometer and better maintenance of motorcycles and as your misinformed and knowledge lacking brain mentioned above, no motorcycle is trashed after a race. That pactice is not done in race cars too except for dragsters because those engines are running on pure methanol with dangerously high compression ratios and hardly any engine oil and yet the engines are reused for a minimum of 2 races. And wherever you are from, KTMs or any Indian market race machines are probably a rare sight and as i mentioned your activa above you haven't taken one for a ride. For your information they are made for clutch-less shifting so do not degrade a persons effort to educate people and think 10 times before typing nonsense just because you got access to the internet. Mr. Vikas is a well respected biker in the biker community. I have won in 2 KTM orange day circuits and 1 trophy in chennai annual guild race days with the knowledge shared in his channel. Hats off to him and balls to you.
Awesome video...great and very nice information....thank you vikas bro...you are making a lot of us amateur riders a good riders by teaching us these techniques,....thanks again
Amazing man....i didn't know this until i watch your video... my doubt is cleared...and thanks for the awareness.... i will try it .... thanks man... peace out 😍😍😍😘
you should also do one on proper rev matched downshifts. I see most people in india, dont rev match when shifting down. they just let the clutch out slowly to get the RPMs right.
Nice video Vikas, blipping can be applied during downshifting to match the RPM from hi-speed to a lower gear i agree. Clutch less shifting is really an advantage and most are totally wrong about having their engines broken. If your familiar with a semi automatic bikes usually used in Asia, mostly 125cc and below; it doesn't have a clutch yet their bikes lasts 8-10 years without overhauling it as long as you close the throttle before up shifting or down shifting. So pretty much it can also be applied on a higher cc as long as it's done right or you'll burn up your engines' innards.. half-shifting can do more harm if i may say so, just basing it on the word itself; logic is your half way there why not complete the transition right? although there are instances you might do it specially in traffic but not on a hi-speed ride. My take on this is it will work as long as it's done right. I believe everyone will agree.
It was fantastic knowing this piece of information. What I want to know is how does it affect the chain of the moterbike, does it have an adverse effect? I am a rookie and would like to know.
I found it years ago by myself on a tvs starcity.. also down shifts.. technicality is reduce the tension in gear box (u will fell it if u release throttle immediately). Initially while learning raise it immediately and reduce it for eg., like 6k to 6.2k to 5.8k. shift while 6.2 to 5.8.
I can upshift and downshift as well. It is all in the RPM and knowledge about your bike. You can also engage first gear without using clutch. Star the bike and push it with legs little bit and then engage first gear. This way the bike will not stall.
I ride an NS200. Once in motion, using the clutch to get going, clutchless shifting thereafter, up or down, is safe and easy so long as the motor is decelerating at the time of the shift. In other words, once you are in motion you can shift high or low so long as the RPM's are in decline. When shifting down without a clutch, brake and shift in a 1-2 manner, first apply your brakes to slow the bike and engine down; then immediately make your down shift. Otherwise (unless you have a slipper clutch) your back tire will stop spinning for a second putting tremendous torque on the drive chain and clutch, causing them to wear prematurely. Beware: clutch-less shifting is bad while the RPM's are steady and even worse when they are on the rise; it's just asking for trouble. Don't do it!
Very nice Vikas! The way you explain the story telling is simply superb. I recently (23rd July 2013) bought Dominar 400 red colour, initially I got few strange stares within friend circle, when told then I intend to buy this little beast. What is your comment. I am not pro, but love this bike.
Mind blowing vikas sir thank u for teaching me like that i just want to ask that how to do wheely on the bikes. I have seen this video 10 times to learn nicely. Thank u for teaching 😊😊😊
Great video mate!
However you mention that you need to blip your throttle while upshifting. As far as my understanding goes, blipping your throttle would increase the RPMs of the bike and since we're upshifting, we are looking to reduce the RPMs. In order to do this, I recommend letting go off the throttle for a second and shifting simultaneously and then starting to accelerate again.

+Sidhant Kacker You are absolutely correct mate.. My mistake, I got confused with the terminology... I loved your constructive feedback... Thanks very much for the support..
I'm glad you took my comment in the positive way I intended it to be.
Keep up the great work! Eagerly awaiting for your next video!
And hence those ware pointless 11:37 mins

So I'm sorry but I'm going to have to disagree with your comment.
Good point, Sidhant...
please don't put music while showing ride video.... let the sound of the engine be the music... that way it's much easier to understand
agree!
I do it on my passion pro, but I didn't knew that it's a racing technique😊😊😊
wow I am born to race😂😂😂
Anonymous _TM me too I do the same on my pulser 150
Aditya Rajpoot kirack;);)
I don't have a slipper clutch on my pulsar 150, but downshifts are absolutely possible. I have all the gears in one direction so I can actually come to a full halt without using clutch. I am going to miss this feature in my next bike 😑
Or lazy to pull clutch lever🙄😁
I do on splendor bro😂
Killer technique boss.
For those saying this will ruin the bike, it will only do so if you don't time your wrist action properly. You will cause a jerk to the drivetrain that is in fact harmful.

Just to reiterate what's in the video,
Sequence:
Accelerate
Preload Shifter
*Very quickly(less than a quarter of a second)
Off the throttle
Shift for real(quick and surely, it WILL shift)
On the throttle
Smile and ride away like a boss
Happy riding folks and thanks Vikas for the great video!
WoW Bro! Absolutely loved your inputs... Thanks very much bro... Cheers!
Thanks for your detailed explanation 😊
So while doing clutchless upshifting, we don't have to completely let go of the throttle; just the blip will be enuf, right? (can anyone clarify this) TIA
krishnanunni p Right bro... Jst a blip
If you are at 50% throttle
A Blip would be
*Do this VERY fast
1. 50%
2. 0%(shift here)
3. 50% or more since you're now in a higher gear
this was like trying mechanical magic for me Vikas, been riding since was 15 but surprisingly enough no one ever told me about trick.. tried it for the first time today and guess what, can't thank you enough bro. Appreciate your genuinity!
I saw this video 4 years back, and man...! I never lost a single drag race on mu Rr310 after learning this, and now I can do both clutch less upshift and downshifts.. ..!
I've been doing clutch-less upshifts for more than 4 years now on my pulsar....Never had any problems with clutch or gearbox........ I learned about clutch-less shifts from RJ's videos. He always does clutch-less upshifts on his Grom and Nuda.
I used this technique from 2011 with out any technical knowledge now i understood. You explained very well vikas buddy. Thank you ao much...
I have tried this with my Hero Xtreme according to ur explanation....really awesome..It is helpful in daily life clutch cable failure...
I always use this technique, just releasing throttle one degree or so upshift gears. I learned It automatically. Now watching your video, I am thumping my skill.
It even worked on my TVS Star City.... Happy experimenting😃
My big bro i am just 17 but i am using this technique when i start to ride a bike since 2011 nd no one teached me but ur video cleared some issues
I tried this for first time in my life today and it's an amazing feeling and what a smoothness in clutchless up shifting. Great..video❤️
Thanks a lot for this information....i did it on my Fzs ..many times without knowing the facts
.. and was thinking that it would damage the machine...but now doubt cleared and knew its an authorised process....now i need more practice...to make it perfect...
I am doing this all my life starting form my dad's splendor, its easy done than said, keep practicing you will get there in no time
year ago...i hav started doin on my ninja 250r upshift..down shift ! d way u showed is perfctly ...good , n it dnst harm to clutch plate ! ! many ppl dont knw how to shift gear ! best video for new comers !
I learnt double clutching recently and it was so great i enjoyed using it in mountains totally on my avenger street 220 and it made my bike totally controllable on high speeds while cornering and racing with ns200 in himachal and now i will try this hope i will get this done right and dont screw my bike.. 😅 this is a totally amazing trick thanx for this video sir...
This technique i hv bn using from 2009 end on my r15 that time i dont know whether its clutchless or anything else.i was doing that to relief my fingers from pulling the clutch on long drives...good to see peoples are doing this and named this as clutchless
Many a times I did this because of lazyness but now i know its called clutch less upshift anyways great video Vikas bhai
Nice 👍🏻 video buddy
I tired it on my Benelli TNT 300 and it works like a charm, timing and practice is very important.
Thanks for watching mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Hai Vikas... i was doing this blip technique, but i never knew that it is a racing hack..
thanks for helping to realise my skills.
Nice one.... I have done it before accidentally but didn't know this technique. I could do it on my gixxer 155 while upshifting and it feels great. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much bro...... watched your video yesterday and i tried this today on my bike..... gear shifting was effortless and it felt good....
I was already doing the same things while riding, then one of my friend told me tht, you will damage your bike by riding like this n all shit, now I got all technicality of it.... Thank you
Thanks man..i was really confused on how to really do clutchless shifting..had too many advices from many experienced riders, but still i was not able to do it...now this vid explained it very well.. clutchless shifting rocks...thanks again ...
Bring acceleration to zero and shift gear up and race quick.... This is what the blip.... I'm doing it for years but I never think or focussed... Thank you
Awesome clear crisp and descriptive video upon gear upshift, really learned the concept with examples. Good one Vikash sir..
I couldn't get ur old video about this topic ,but this video was so we'll explained,i think i got it now. ill try it tomorrow morning and will write back the result.
Practice and perfect timing will not harm your gears, ive been doing this clutchless technique for 2yrs and no harm or damage on my duke 390.
Please make a video on counter steering...I'm confused whether to push the handle bar forward or downwards....
d4dracula2010 yes bro...counter steering is one of d major part in cornering skills..!! Yes, we do need a video about it Vikas sir..!!
d4dracula2010 vikas sir, plz make a video on cornering & counter steering ....do consider our request
hahahahaha wow just go by feeling man, above parking lot speeds countersteering works. Perhaps if you understand why it works, you won't have such a confusion. It is simple centrifugal force at play.

Thanks Vikas bhai, Today I learnt from your video and I even tried it. Now I can go from 1st to 5th gear without using any clutch. The moment I did it, I was so damn happy , I was literally laughing , giggling through out my journey. Thanks man. 😋😆
I tried this today on a long stretch... It was really great technique... But I admit it isnt easy to do... I might have failed 5/10 times.. But really enjoyed it... Hope i learn it sooner...
I watched this video many years ago...
Suddently i dont know why vikas Rachamalla name comes in my mind....So i am here ❤️
Thanks for the support brother
@@rvkvikas ❤️
Thanks Vikas.
Same thing occurs. When the throttle is released, then clutch has lesser forward force to engage, this seems some sort of backward force (which partially disengages) is applied to the clutch, which is enough for gearshifts.
Now I am able to do clutchless upshifts and even downshifts on my commuter bike.
U think that u r expert in clutchless shifts..then make a clutchless shift from nuetral to 1st gear👍👍
All the best expert
As i am doing this very much but many of my friend told me that you will ruin the teeths of gear but now i understand thank you very much sir☺
many of my friends also told me that rev matching on downshifts puts strain on the engine. I tried explaining to them that as long as the gear i shift down to stays under the red-line, that is not possible, but some folks are just stubborn in this country no point trying to explain yourself to them. Life works in a very binary way for them and most just do as they are told.
Awesome tip bro... Today I tried in my R15 and it worked butter smooth... I tried in city so was able to upshift 4,5,6 very easily around 7k rpm.. But never worked for 3rd. I think more rpm needed for lower gears like 2 and 3.. Need to try them in next highway ride. I think now on I will only use this method to upshift... It's so quick and easy...
New mini bike at 7.30......just taking maza.....VDO excellent...I once did it when my clutch wire was broken
Thanks Vikas for one most Important point that i was missing for a good clutch less shift that is to eliminate the play area of the shifter pedal. I saw and learnt it the 1st moment when i saw you doing it on dominar review.
I also would like to share one observation that i picked up while practicing Clutch less. when previous gear is done clutch less on higher rev the next does not need to be at high even at low rev means between 4 - 5K RPM its shifts smoothly
Thanks Sir
Please do share more techniques and skill, waiting for it
thanks for the great tutorial .. tried it today and loved it .. the shift was butter smooth and acceleration was amazing :)
Poor cinematographer Nithin has a running nose. He's trying his best not to make a noise😂
Thank for the tips.. that was priceless.. and making us understand in layman terms
Thanks Vikas for the gyan 😉 all these days i was doing to an extent with RTR 160 and today got to know clearly... The video was very clear and crisp
That blue three wheeler tho..

Superb Explanation! Very kind to ur cinematographer too!!!
It's awesome to ride my bike like this tooo gud and damn awesome to ride my bike like this Tq vikas bro
Vika is a photo friendly tutor. If there was a paper on all his vids I would hit hi scores. Good job Vika. Streaming your vids well n clear at kenya.
So all you hav to do is to buy a semi automatic motorcycle so you dont need any more that clutch lever.. peace✌✌✌✌ but nice video bro.
Thanks bro for the knowledge
You are fav youtuber
this was helpful ...you can also do it while the motorcycle on fixed rear stand
this technique i use always in my 125 cc bajaj platina :) non dts-si engine 5 speed gear ..... and its very good technique :D thanks bro for more info about this :D
Explanation is awesome 👌👌 couldn't explain any better Den this..great work
thanks brother for your suggestions. ...your suggestion are soo helpful to me to ride a bike.. heartfully I'm thanking you brother ...and keep suggesting us about bike and riding gears
Liked the simple way in which you explained it! Thanks from an upcoming motovlogger :)
Wow, I said that before when you talked about the gear sprokets, excuse my incorrectness, at CBT it was so very bad 1st time on a yamaha in 1990, terrible I was not at all understanding so many things about even stalling due to grabbing the gear lever, thinking it was a bicycle back break! Aggh. So you described exactly when I could not shift into first gear instead of remaining sllowing neutral gear and oh well. I am very glad. However, when I did get to the feel of what as a total novice, of the pull of the bike using clutchless revolutions at top of 2nd gear then third, I locked back wheel at end of the runway, due to grabbing agsin, the clutch, eithout using my left foot change and had to put my left foot down to spin at that point to turn on a sixpence, used accelerator to control spin then back wheel put me right on the ball snd I accelerated suddenly got that old engine happy and got a round of applause! Cannot explain but feel less silly now. Many thanks x
So sorry for spelling mistakes
That was amazing buddy , I learned by doing half liver pull i was burning my clutch plate so thanks
Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.
Vikas loads of respect excellent Job add more videos to this playlist also show proper closing of bike with all its parts changing customizing and basic fixes one can do on their own
this technique really helpful for my dazzler.... Thank you very much...
I like your way to explain difficult thins with so easy way...
Thank you so much again....

Hahaha sb RPM ka khel h boss....
.
Dosto jese tum upshit krna sikh rhe ho same iske opposite m km RPM m tum log downshift bhi kr skte ho without harming the engine...
.
Ye koi rocket science nhi h its very easy n useful...
Technique like you should learn on smaller bikes where mistake won't be as big a deal.... Once you master upshifts you can also do down shifts like while slowing down raise the rpm for a second and downshift because when you down shift the rpm of the lower gear is always more. It helped me a lot when my bikes clutch cable broke and had to bring my bike home in Mumbai ka traffic.. Stopping without clutch is scary.. Because when you stop you have to put the bike in neutral and without clutch bike doesn't go in neutral and again going from stopped position you have to push the bike and then put it in first gear or the bike will jerk and stop
Haha.... I always do this kind of shifting.... But i really didnt knew there was a term for this and i thought it harmed the bike but it feels so good this way that i didnt care about the damage... Gald to know that it doesn't harm the bike...
This is your first video I am watching. And know I have become your great fan . Your explanation is just superb.
Thank you very much mate
here after watching your most recent vlog on the speed 400, really love gaining motorcycle knowledge from you vikas!
Thanks a ton buddy
Well i didnt knw if this was a correct technique but i always use to shift in the same way. Good to knw that i was doing right thing all along. Also i do the downshift without clutch. BTW my bike is cbz 150
Some people think that they are teaching some heroic deeds and are self experts. Guys please remember that these techniques are for race tracks where you are trying to save fraction of seconds . It is not suppose to be done under any circumstances on public roads and most importantly not on your daily commuting and personal super bikes. Please emphasize on good and safe riding habits.We Indians are idiots who think that since the guys on the race track are doing it then we can also do it anytime. Think for a while they do on machines which are just used for a single race track and then they are never used. They just dump it after a single race. They are all assembled for the particular race. Please do not make a habit of doing this on your personal bikes. As I said always emphasize on good riding habits. You are not going to own anything by saving fraction of seconds on public roads. However I have seen people losing life in fraction of seconds.You may accidentally make it worse while concentrating on this technique on the roads. Its a universal thing where proper clutch engagement should be done for better engine life and its a text book theory. Also always remember race track machines are specifically build for race and not for other purpose. Rest is all upto you. Your money , your machine.
+1 for that comment
i think you ride an activa and you are'nt capable of anything more and your brain capacity is sow low that you actually need to take your concentration off the road just for a gear shift which is easier than the normal shifting and is better for your clutch than normal engage and disengage of the clutch if its done right and you are probably watching poonam pandeys cleveage on youtube more often and stumbled across this video by mistake and have never seen the rest of his videos which are more focused towards safety and precautions, better savings per kilometer and better maintenance of motorcycles and as your misinformed and knowledge lacking brain mentioned above, no motorcycle is trashed after a race. That pactice is not done in race cars too except for dragsters because those engines are running on pure methanol with dangerously high compression ratios and hardly any engine oil and yet the engines are reused for a minimum of 2 races. And wherever you are from, KTMs or any Indian market race machines are probably a rare sight and as i mentioned your activa above you haven't taken one for a ride. For your information they are made for clutch-less shifting so do not degrade a persons effort to educate people and think 10 times before typing nonsense just because you got access to the internet. Mr. Vikas is a well respected biker in the biker community. I have won in 2 KTM orange day circuits and 1 trophy in chennai annual guild race days with the knowledge shared in his channel. Hats off to him and balls to you.
@@lalithrs 🤣
Goddamnit I don’t care! I’m gonna do clutchless up shifts in the name of Jesus!
@@lalithrs watch your language mate.he is entitled to his opinion and he is not offending anyone.
Thanks brother..It's really awesome in my Duke 200.i really love it.. thanks for the information.
Bro I got same BB boots..But in black n red combination... AWESOME BOOTS👌
Awesome video...great and very nice information....thank you vikas bro...you are making a lot of us amateur riders a good riders by teaching us these techniques,....thanks again
Thank you very much Bro...
A nice video with technically good thing while fast moving on highways. Sorry for late reply......
All the Best
Amazing man....i didn't know this until i watch your video... my doubt is cleared...and thanks for the awareness.... i will try it .... thanks man... peace out 😍😍😍😘
Thank you so much!!! I've got this in my 1st attempt!!
you should also do one on proper rev matched downshifts. I see most people in india, dont rev match when shifting down. they just let the clutch out slowly to get the RPMs right.
Quite helpful.
What about engine braking and rev matching??
Are there any previous videos about it??
Nice video Vikas, blipping can be applied during downshifting to match the RPM from hi-speed to a lower gear i agree. Clutch less shifting is really an advantage and most are totally wrong about having their engines broken. If your familiar with a semi automatic bikes usually used in Asia, mostly 125cc and below; it doesn't have a clutch yet their bikes lasts 8-10 years without overhauling it as long as you close the throttle before up shifting or down shifting. So pretty much it can also be applied on a higher cc as long as it's done right or you'll burn up your engines' innards.. half-shifting can do more harm if i may say so, just basing it on the word itself; logic is your half way there why not complete the transition right? although there are instances you might do it specially in traffic but not on a hi-speed ride. My take on this is it will work as long as it's done right. I believe everyone will agree.
Thanks for watching and your inputs mate :) Cheers!
superb tip specialy the last part
sir can we do this with a low cc bike as glamour , spandor ,pashion pro etc......
It was fantastic knowing this piece of information. What I want to know is how does it affect the chain of the moterbike, does it have an adverse effect? I am a rookie and would like to know.
I found it years ago by myself on a tvs starcity.. also down shifts.. technicality is reduce the tension in gear box (u will fell it if u release throttle immediately). Initially while learning raise it immediately and reduce it for eg., like 6k to 6.2k
to 5.8k. shift while 6.2 to 5.8.

You deserve more subscribers! Love your videos.....
+Ryan J thanks bro
I can upshift and downshift as well. It is all in the RPM and knowledge about your bike. You can also engage first gear without using clutch. Star the bike and push it with legs little bit and then engage first gear. This way the bike will not stall.
I ride an NS200. Once in motion, using the clutch to get going, clutchless shifting thereafter, up or down, is safe and easy so long as the motor is decelerating at the time of the shift. In other words, once you are in motion you can shift high or low so long as the RPM's are in decline. When shifting down without a clutch, brake and shift in a 1-2 manner, first apply your brakes to slow the bike and engine down; then immediately make your down shift. Otherwise (unless you have a slipper clutch) your back tire will stop spinning for a second putting tremendous torque on the drive chain and clutch, causing them to wear prematurely.
Beware: clutch-less shifting is bad while the RPM's are steady and even worse when they are on the rise; it's just asking for trouble. Don't do it!
Thankyou sir for the explaination ...it is very useful...this added more fun in riding
sir ....it was a incredible explanation .....
Thanks very much. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe..
Thanks vikas..! That was really helpful..!
Thanks for the information. and thanks Nithin.good job
vikas i am using this method since 2004 on my splender then tvs rtr 160
I have 100 cc bike. But i'n using this trick from last 9 years. It dosen't ruin the engine .
Clutch less shifting is a must learn for every biker..👍👍
Very nice Vikas! The way you explain the story telling is simply superb. I recently (23rd July 2013) bought Dominar 400 red colour, initially I got few strange stares within friend circle, when told then I intend to buy this little beast. What is your comment. I am not pro, but love this bike.
What a video sir..!! I was searching for this for so long ..thank u very much
Mind blowing vikas sir thank u for teaching me like that i just want to ask that how to do wheely on the bikes. I have seen this video 10 times to learn nicely.
Thank u for teaching 😊😊😊
can you make a video on cornering please....
Jhakasssss dear i loved this video very much
Bro your videos are so usefull.... Thanks
This even works on bullet. 💯😂
Bro,You look like Remo D'Souza :D
Seriously bro u want to compare a biker to a NACHNE WALA
VR -Valentino Rossi- Vikas Rachamalla
Lol nice man
Don't compare with a legend man😥😥
Great job man, but you should also explain the disadvantages of these tips. then only newbies can understand what they going endup.
Good thing bro I know this and useing on 220smooth and powerful pickup
