You should release the throttle when downshifting a motorcycle. Below are the relevant details about motorcycle downshifting: Adjust gears based on speed when downshifting: When the speed increases to a certain value, shift into a higher gear in time. When downshifting, only shift into a lower gear when the speed drops to a certain value. Under safe conditions, it is advisable to use higher gears as much as possible to reduce wear on mechanical parts and lower fuel consumption. Adjust the speed promptly according to road conditions and traffic. Maintain a moderate speed: New riders on the road often feel nervous, which is unavoidable. However, they should avoid driving too fast or too slow and maintain a moderate speed. Generally, a speed of 90 km/h on highways is ideal.
