Does the next project involve hookers and blow?  If so I'd like to formally submit my resume to be on the team.  

Absolutely. Has nothing to do with the slipper. I just from reading what the OP said it sounded like he was just clicking down gears and now rev matching or "blipping"

I guess I would just assume one would use a slipper as an insurance policy Incase you went a gear too far on the downshifts.

Trust me when I tell you that having a slipper when you do this will still make you pucker up.  Not having one and doing this will cause you a lot more than a pucker and likely some pains.

Wrong, you are matching the rpm to the rpm that the rear wheel is moving at the gear you are going to. It's not to reduce load to make it easier to downshift.

You're right...when you don't have a slipper.

I've never used a slipper, but I always rev match on downshifts

Not bashing ya, but you're blipping to unload the trans to make downshifting easier.  You're not rev matching the engine RPM's to your rear wheel speed necessarily.  That's what the slipper gives you, the ability to let the engine and rear wheel temporarily disconnect allowing for higher wheel speed without blowing up the engine.

Edit: I read this again and I get what you're sayin'.  It's two fold, one to unload the trans AND to get the engine RPM to match the next lower gear.

Meh, annual inspection when you're checking the clutch plates/fibers and you'll know if it's going south.  Not to say something can't still happen when on the track but I've never personally heard of problems with them, except when they're not adjusted proper.

I just bang it down to whatever gear and let the lever go.  It's designed to be used that way.  Besides, do you want to have to be thinking about letting the clutch out while braking and setting up for a pass?  Have I scrubbed enough speed off to not hop the rear wheel?  Do I need to wait longer?  No, just get it into whatever gear is needed, drop the lever and move on.  

It's a gixxer thing, you'll get used to it.  

I get my thrills on the track, son.

Or when I'm big spooning Todd.

You should sell the 675 since it's nothing more than a garage queen and isn't utilized appropriately.  

Trade for a track bike so you can come play with the big boys?

You're heading in the right direction son.  You just need to keep going until you hit $4500 then it's yours.

Bump....down to $4500 now.

**Another Price Drop** - Just did synth oil change, oe filter and crush washer.  Will be getting the coolant switched out shortly.

One can never have too many of either.

Sorry, Ben.  Looks like my stash of full size DIMMs has dried up.  All I have are a bunch of SODIMMs which you can't use.

I might have something that would work for you. I'm in DC right now heading home. I'll check when I get back and text ya.

Doh!

You still didn't answer my question.  Finders fee?  

Boom!  Do I get a finders fee?  

Calling RVT!  Hello RVT!  Here's the helmet bag you need!

Oh I know it was clean.  I saw the whole thing.  You didn't have much choice but to let him go through.

Welcome to the board, Andrew!  

WTF...I might as well just give mine away. 

That wasn't about commitment, it was about balls and drop kicking andrew to the curb cuz you though you were Rossi today.

I had my reservations on that move getting completed into t1. Some hella late late late late braking.

Fuck, Pauly!  Shut your pie hole!  It's only AM so hopefully it will be light and move out quickly.  

You should still hold your head high when collecting the 2nd place trophy at the banquet.  It's tough getting beat by guys with one less cylinder than you.

I'd be happy to sub for Ron if need be.

You just let me know what you need.  Smack talk, sabotage, whatever.
