As far as I know, skipping gears is not a problem when done correctly. just be careful when letting off the clutch if you skip gear because of the drastic change of RPMs. 5th gear at 7,000 RPMS and you shift to 3rd. You could be running close to 12 - 13,000 when you let the clutch out.if you can image that happening, yourrear wheel will lose traction at that drastic of a change.if your bike is equipped with a slipper clutch (which i doubt, cuz your in the F3 section) you don't really have to worry, because the slipper clutch allows the clutch to spin with out spining your rear tire.
Does this answer your question? I don't know.
Give me a situations and i'll break it down for you. is that better?

No thats just fine, I get the wholerpm thing, i am fairly mechanically inclined, just new bikes. I was just thinking that if you had to come to a stop quick and were stoped in 5th gear if you were to rattle down the gears to find 1st it would get hung up in second.My buddies F2 is like that and someone told me thatif you don't downshift sequentially that you canend up bending a shift fork. They were saying you should always spin the clutch a little in every gear on the way down.

How about answering my question. I seriously want to know what 5% of my advice or information was correct.
If we're here to help, that is. If we're just gonna poke sticks at each other then **** it - let's leave the keyboards at home.
