Same as a car. You do whatever you feel like. But because gearbox is sequential on a bike, if you’re in 6th and you pull the clutch in and come to a stop you’ll have a hard time shifting through all the gears to 1st when stopped. So downshift as you’re still rolling. Otherwise you do you. I like to downshift because the throttle blip is fun
