Can you just hold in the clutch and brake, then downshift all the gears when your motorcycle stop?
No, the transmission will not allow you to do that. You cannot downshift (or upshift) more than ONE gear when the bike is at a compete stop. You can just hold the clutch in and brake to a stop, but you need to downshift as the bike is coasting - still rolling. You should always match your gear to your road speed so you can let the clutch out and take off again.
Yes you can, and I do this quite often. When I first learned to ride a motorcycle I learned the proper way of downshifting to a stop. I suggest you learn to downshift so that you are able to slow down safely while descending steep hills. If you are on level ground in traffic, it is often better to hold the clutch and brake and save the wear and tear on your transmission. After all, brake pads are cheap, and transmissions are expensive. Use good judgement and always ease the clutch out slowly when shifting to keep even traction on the back wheel.
