What will cause your 1999 Honda civic RPM go up and down when transmission shift gears?
When you are shifting gears, your RPMs will go down because your clutch is being pressed. If your RPMs don't go back up when you release your clutch, you should see a mechanic.
While in good motion is it required to press clutch fully to change gear?
To shift up, no, a full clutch squeeze (disengagement) is not required. To shift down, it is strongly recommended to completely squeeze the clutch in. Sqeezing the clutch lever all the way in to the grip reduces loads on the transmission, so in common street riding applications it is best to disengage the clutch fully while shifting either up or down.
Is down shifting on a motorcycle bad?
down shifting is not bad at all... as long as your are downshifting properly and not trying to drop more than one gear at a time or dropping a gear, popping the clutch and redlining then, it's fine... when you're slowing down, squeeze the clutch, down shift, and slowly release the clutch... if you just let it go then yes it can be bad

Why cant i shift into first gear while im moving?
Make sure you depress the clutch... If not, something is busted. <><><><><> Its also possible that the relative speed of the transmission input shaft is too low to allow the synchronizer to engage. In that case, slow down further before shifting or learn to double-clutch.

How-to shift a racing motorcycle?
Shifting a motorcycle made for racing is very similar to shifting a street motorcycle. The only difference is some racing motorcycles may have a slipper clutch and/ or a quicker shifter. The common way to upshift on a track motorcycle is clutchless. To do this, when you are at the rpm range you want to shift up, you preload the shifter lever with a bit of pressure from your foot and then decrease the gas a little. It should bump into the next gear and then you proceed to pin the gas again. On down shifting, there are two techniques, and it really depends if you have a slipper clutch or not. To down shift without a slipper clutch: Pull in clutch, give momentary spurt of throttle to match theoretical rpms of next lower gear, and release the clutch quickly. Consequence of not burping throttle to next rpm is back wheel chatter while engine is forced to match rpms itself. Back wheel may even lock causing a skid. Another easier technique, commonly used by street riders, but not on the track due to it being much slower, is to let the clutch out slowly after shifting. To down shift with a slipper clutch: Pull in shift level, down shift, release shift lever. If rpms are out of whack, slipper clutch will let clutch slip until they are matched..
