sheep, your right saying the engine speed needs to match the gearbox speed but as for the sequence

i think you may be wrong too

Keep throttle pinned, give the quickshifter a nudge, Roberts your mothers brother.

Now, where's a quickshifter catalog ...

This is typical of women, to get men into a big ol ****in contest.... I of course know everything about everything but will not be drawn into this male bun fight

Not sure it really makes that much difference, as it's all happening fairly quickly. As long as the clutch is in when you downshift and the revs match when the clutch is let out then the bike should be happy.

it's clutch in! blip ! down shift ! clutch out !

the reason we did it, was if you have ever driven an old HGV with a "crash " gear box , The blip of the throttle. A. brings up engine speed with the gear box speed Thus negating the shift!
road speed can alter this so if you get it all syncronized you can actualy down shift without using the clutch!!!!

You know what I mean. Kick the gear lever when you've got a quickshifter installed etc ...

For those HGV boxes I agree with you.

In my experience of driving one of the Oz Army's old Mack wrecker trucks you had to whack the clutch in (yes I do mean whack) take it out of gear, let the clutch out, rev the anus off it, clutch in put in gear and clutch out again ....

Otherwise you just couldn't get the bugger in gear!

With bike's though I think Rob's (sheepylover) point is valid, it happens so quickly once you've got the clutch in (rev and downshift) that it doesn't really matter. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong though ..
