I my general dow shifting goes like this: pull clutch/roll off throttle, shift down, blip throttle to match road speed, let out clutch. Now on my car, I usually shift down AFTER I blip the the throttle in order to match the gear speeds. I know bikes gears are all meshed already, but I was wondering if I should still be bliping throttle BEFORE the down shift to avoid damage of some sort?
Second question is about this whine from the tranny I hear when downshifting to neutral at over 25 mph, for example as i roll up to a red light. Is this normal operation, or something I should avoid doing becauses it damages the transmission?
