Downshifting and upshifting are essential techniques for operating a motorcycle safely and efficiently. Downshifting involves changing to a lower gear, while upshifting involves changing to a higher gear.
Downshifting is typically used when slowing down or coming to a stop. By downshifting, you can use the engine to help slow the motorcycle, reducing the need to rely solely on the brakes. Upshifting, on the other hand, is used when accelerating or maintaining speed. By upshifting, you can keep the engine in its optimal power range, improving fuel efficiency and reducing wear and tear.
