No, you push the clutch all the way in to disengage the gear you are using from the drive train, and then you engage the next gear you want to use and re-engage that gear to the drive train.
If you clutch and it either goes all the way in with no pressure there is a leak in your slave cylinder or the higher you have to clutch means your clutch is sliping and has to be replaced. If your doing a lot of power shifting i would suggest you get a racing clutch instead.
Clutch in and press either up or down on the shift pedal Normally the shifting pattern is 1N23456 (Maybe you don't have a 6th gear, it's the same pattern) When not rolling, shift all the way down and up one. That is neutral. To start going, pull in the clutch, shift down. That puts you down into first Release the clutch and give some gas. Now to shift into second, pull in the clutch and shift up. This will skip neutral and put you into second. I think you get the point now.
Best way is to just float the gears - shift without using the clutch. However, if you do this wrong, you'll destroy your transmission. If you use the clutch when shifting, firstly, you double clutch - try shifting it like a car transmission, and you destroy the transmission. If you don't know how to do this, go to a truck driving school. When you shift, only push in the clutch far enough to disengage the transmission - don't go all the way to the floor with it, or else you'll wear out the clutch break. Don't roll out of gear with the clutch depressed.

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.

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..
Most likely the clutch is getting weak. The easiest way to check any clutch is to put it in 5th and see if it moves. It should try to move or if it is a good clutch, kill the motor.
