Blipper

[Kerrsy]

I have a 2022 xr and was wondering if there was any special technique to using the blipper. It's all new to me.
Also are there any inherent faults to look out for on the gen 2 as a bike.?
One other thing what would people say are the must have upgrades?
Cheers

I think he means when the bike revs itself on the down shift, 

As we did in the olden days  blip the throttle when changing down with the clutch..

Assuming you mean the shift assist, when changing up hold the throttle open and flick the gear lever up, when shifting down just shut the throttle back and push the gear lever down (at least that's how I use it).

Correct and the blip is automatic..

Being back on a pedestrian MT-10 atm i miss the XR doing all these things for me I took for granted... Imagine having to use the clutch/throttle for downshifts... Outrageous!!!

Mine shifts down seemlessly on a neutral throttle too.
