[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1442745, member: 3187"] For down changes, do the opposite of your up-change technique. As you change down, open the throttle a tiny bit, then back it off to where it was. Works at any rpm. Just learn the timing, also how much and how quickly according to engine load and speed. Changing down with power on ("I need a lower gear going up this hill" is very different from a trailing throttle "We're slowing down from 70 to 35"). Think "unload the gearbox during the change". With a little practice these become second nature. These days I am riding a 2018 with throttle-by-wire and YCC-S, it does the throttle control for you when you change gear. Gets it pretty good most of the time. Trying to help it usually confuses it and makes the change worse. [/QUOTE]
