Hey everyone As a club racer and track day regular, one of the best things I have invested in is a quick shifter. For about £300 I have improved my lap times by about 2 seconds as this reduces the necessity to having to close the throttle when upshifting. If I am racing someone at a similar pace I can literally see the effects as the bike leaps forward during gear changes. Downshifting, I use the clutch without blipping the throttle. As Stuman says, leaving the downshifting for just a moment minimises the wheel sliding around and puts less stress on the transmission. Steve
