In my experience, you do not have to pull in the clutch lever all the way in for either up or down shifts. The wet clutch on the bike is meant to be slipped (friction zone) it is not like a car clutch. I only use two fingers on the clutch when clutching (up and down - I only use all fingers when holding it in at a light). the two fingers left on the grip act as a "stop" so you do not pull the clutch all the way in. A light touch on the clutch really smoothed up my downshifting (and upshifting).
