Downshifting how do you do it?
#1
When I downshift I usually go down more then one gear. For example if I am in 5th or 6th I go down straight to 3rd or even 2nd. That gives me more stopping power.

In order to not potato myself I use clutch slipping. My process for decisive slow down is, say I am in 5th:

1. A little front brake.
2. Disengage with the clutch
2. 3 down shifts to 2nd.
3. Engage back with the clutch slipping it so that the force is smooth.
4. Final front brake.

I was not sure that is the right way to shift, but it works for me. I read that some guys saying they go very fast sequentially like 5th,4th,3rd,2nd gear.
My thinking was I am not a pro works for me this more then one gear down thing.

Then today I have watched MotoGP Petruci footwork. Big surprise I am not alone. Everybody is cheating and doing more than one gear down?  :lol

How do you do your gear shift guys?

Any tips?
