Ok, well i know how to switch the gears and everything, but i'm just wondering, when you're slowing down to stop, do you have to switch down gears?
Yes.
If you try to take off in 3rd gear you're going to stall. Do it too many times and depending on your bike you're going to wear out the clutch faster/prematurely.
And check http://www.sportrider.com under the riding techniques section theres a article on "blipping" the throttle on downshifts.
Blipping the throttle on downshifts is just matching the RPM of the engine when downshifting with the clutch in upon release. It makes it smoother.
