When your brakes fail, you should downshift to low gear to help slow the vehicle down using engine braking. Additionally, you can safely steer to a clear area and use the emergency brake if necessary. Avoid shifting into high gear or pumping antilock brakes, as these actions may not effectively help in stopping the vehicle. Always prioritize maintaining control and finding a safe way to stop.

If you do not use the clutch to shift, there are a couple of parts that will eventually wear to the point of causing the transmission to drop out of gear. Given the cost of clutch replacement or gear replacement, you should always use the clutch. Similarly, you should not downshift (with or without the clutch) to slow the vehicle down. Use the brakes. Brake pad replacement is simple and inexpensive on most motorcycles.)

To downshift on a keyboard, you typically use the "Shift" key in conjunction with other keys. For example, in gaming or applications that support keyboard shortcuts, holding the "Shift" key while pressing another key can invoke a downshift action, such as slowing down a character or changing gears. Additionally, in text editing, holding "Shift" while using arrow keys allows you to select text in a downward direction. Always refer to the specific software or game documentation for precise key functions.
You can actually downshift to whatever gear you please. However, to take off properly, you should be in first gear. Downshift gear selection is determined by how fast you are going when slowing down. For an example, you would not want to downshift to first while slowing down from 55mph. You would want to downshift into 1st at somewhere around 10-15 mph or less. You may find it easier to downshift to 2nd gear and switch to 1st for takeoff. Many times when slowing down for a red light, it changes to green when traveling about 20-25 mph. In this example, you would shift to 2nd and accelerate normally through the gears.
