Is a throttle blip necessary during downshifts when you have a slipper clutch?

I own a 2008 Honda CBR1000RR, which comes standard with a slipper clutch. Is it necessary to still blip the throttle during downshifts when you have one of these? I find that it’s pretty smooth regardless. [phpbay]part,10, “6030”, “”[/phpbay]

Does a slipper clutch affect 1st gear when you first start moving?

Is it easier to drive a motorcycle with a slipper clutch on or off for a beginner? I am wondering when you let the clutch out in 1st gear to get moving.
