Greetings Forum Members,
I have to get this odd/perplexing concern off my chest.
By way of brief background, I've ridden H-D M/Cs for the past twelve years, exclusively...
I generally blip the throttle and down shift prior to entering a fast curve, and/or blip the throttle when decelerating and simultaneously down shifting while coming to an abrupt stop, i.e., traffic light. I grew up racing cars and you always blipped the throttle/gas pedal when downshifting to match revs...
I've noticed that when preparing for downshifts on my '12 RT, the bike stalls/coughs (I can tell it upsets the bike) when I engage the clutch and then blip the throttle prior to downshifting. Do any of you experience this as well?
I never had any issues w/any of the several H-D M/Cs I've owned. Now that I think about it, I never had a problem with the many Japanese bikes I owned back in the day either...
Tks/Cheers,
B
