I guess it's less of an issue on a two stroke because there is less inertia in the engine and the engine itself is lower compression. Since I'm coming from a four stroke I really am in the habit of doing it because it really felt nasty not rev matching on the CBR, even managed to lock the rear wheel once...

Would you guys agree that rev matching, even on a two stoke is better for the dogs in the gearbox? I'm more concerned with road riding really as thats what I do mostly.

Old habits die hard, but i will have to try downshifting without rev matching next time I'm out for a ride.
