O.K. your coming up on a light doing 50. The light changing and now you have to come to a stop. No cages in front of you (this time). Do you...
1 - down shift to 4th, 3rd, and let the downshifting slow the bike. Or...
2 - hold the clutch in, coast to a stop, then down shift. I find myself riding the clutch after downshifting to 2nd gear. I don't release the clutch in 1st gear. I'd like to hear what others do in this situation. Now if you had to stop quickly, the the senerio would change, grab the brake and clutch and get that baby under control. But when you have time to stop, do you downshift or coast with the clutch in.
