@Henry1993bc In a car with a manual transmission, you can return to neutral from any gear. Can you do that on a bike or do you have to downshift through all the gears first before returning to neutral?
@jaco5187 literally pull the clutch lever in so the bike isnt being powered by the engine, its not putting it in neutral gear as such but essentially is neutral as it just disconnects the engine from the bike when you pull in the clutch
It's like in baseball, where the 1st baseman gets the ball and then sits on it watching the guy on third run home. The play is not over.
The point is, just because YOU stopped, doesn't mean the guy behind you stopped. You need to be in first ready to move out of the way, not trying to restart your bike.
@dirtydogdogness wait, i remember! we are suppose to reach 15 mph before we perform the quick stop

basically before and during a quick stop should we not use the throttle after we have released the throttle?

@jaco5187 neutral is between 1st and 2nd gear so yes

@jaco5187 yeah, its all the same principle, just using different limbs which gets confusing sometimes

@Henry1993bc So it's the same thing as pushing the clutch pedal in a car then. I understand. Thanks...

What does 'pulling the clutch in' mean? Is that like putting it in neutral?

@oldNavyJZ Yes but don't let the clutch out.
