bandit_287 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 This might be an odd question but do you take your foot off the accelerator when changing down in manual? Using sport and sport plus it blips the throttle slightly prior to the gear change and seems not to mind if you remove it or not. My thought process behind this is I ride a bike with a quickshifter and auto blipper and for upshifts on that you just keep the throttle pinned wide open but roll off for downshifts.

GTSMarky Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 No if you're getting ready for an overtake just pull the - trigger.. My Aprilia will downshift with an open throttle, previous KTM's needed the throttle shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The only time it won't let you is if the system is preventing an over rev, so you can't stick in 1st at a ton for example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_287 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Does the RF blip on an open throttle? I didn’t know that, I must try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is an immense piece of kit. More GT3RS on two wheels. Having run mine in on the road it is in track trim now as it's such a pointless road bike. Again like a GT3 on the road would be pretty pointless as it's just so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSMarky Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 The 2020 Panigale V2 I think also blips on an open throttle & no doubt the V4 does too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit_287 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Cheers! I haven’t ridden it for months because of the lockdown but I’m looking forward to getting out on it as soon as it’s lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 Seen Mr JWW on YouTube full throttle change loads on the GT manual cars, and rave about the little known feature. I do whilst in manual PDK mode (usually drive mode for me) and love the crack the exhaust makes as it changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
