I always use my brakes as soon as I start thinking of stopping. Even when using engine braking, I tap the brakes to let the cagers know I intend to stop.
I tap my brakes multiple times to let them know I am stopping then slowly downshift until I stop, keeping it in 1st. I'll sometimes put it in Nuetral to warm the hands on the engine, if its cold out, at a long light. For the most part I'm always ready to burn, you never know.
Same here, I downshift, but if there is a cage behind me I flash the heck out of my brake light so they know I'm slowing. Two of my friends have got run down at stop lights by a driver who didn't realize there was a bike between them and the thick white line.
