While engine braking casually? To engine brake I slowly let off the throttle? or do I let go completely at once? Downshift once I stop?

Also, I read to turn the bike off every now and then for about 5 minutes to let the heat do its thing.
Pretty much. The procedure is very explicit. What's not clear about it?

When I did it, I just wrote down what needed to be done, went to pick up the bike and followed the instructions on my way home.
