No I can't say that I have, I thought upshifting without using the clutch was fine but downshifting without the clutch was really bad for it? Or as long as you blip the throttle it wont be as bad?

Ah ok that helps me a lot, I was trying it the other way around. I was trying to blip the throttle and catch the brake lever.....thanks for the help! I will try that next time.

Oh ok this makes sense, yea I could see a SR kicking in if you didn't trail off before the turn entry. Also my next question is braking technique, I use the two finger method but it's hard for me to get the timing down on clutch in- downshift- clutch out- twist throttle- brake- let off throttle and repeat. I hope the way I explained that makes sense. Also it would help if I had different levers to help with this but at this point I think it's more timing and understanding rather then blaming it on my stock lever being too far out. This video shows what I am talking about from 3:13 to 3:17

I have been watching the twist 2 video a lot and everytime I watch it I catch something I didn't before. A question I had was when your braking and setting up for your turn entry speed it says to be hard on the brakes and trail off. Does this mean get your hard braking done at your braking point and then using the rear brake to finish setting your speed before the turn entry?
