Does it do any damage to the transmission to double or triple downshift (or upshift) while holding in the clutch? I find that when I am approaching a stop sign that it is easier sometimes to quickly downshift into first with one clutch pull than to go through all the gears letting the clutch out each time.
Thanks!

None at all, but sometimes they won't shift after a couple in a row and you have to blip the throttle or let the clutch out slightly

 

Doesn't damage the clutch, but it can damage the transmission or the engine if you are down in first at too high a road speed and suddenly have to engage the clutch for whatever reason. It's also easier on the brakes if you downshift a gear at a time and let the engine compression do some of the braking. It's just plain smarter to go down a gear at a time, because of the ratcheting shifter that motorcycles have, and be ready in case a sudden change in braking or acceleration is needed.

 

While on the topic of coasting, you might want to be aware that the tranny isn't getting as much oil circulated when coasting as it should have at the speed you are traveling. This is more of a caution for when your decending a long hill.
