Help with slowing on a sportbike?

If you're slowing down for a light and clutch easily into second and you lurch, you may need to be in third instead of second. If it bogs down with little power, upshift. You'll get the feel for what gear you need to be in. As you slow, try to downshift slowly...not all the way into first or second if you still have good momentum. Takes some practice, try stop and go in neighborhood riding until you get the hang of it more. Works just the same as if you are in a car shifting manual, not automatic car that is.
