Just to say that Christ and dcb are correct and explain well this technique, from some one who has rebuilt these things for over 20 years. Once you learn how to do it, which is easy, it can become habit fairly quickly. It can save as much as 20k to 30k miles of wear on your clutch components (plate, throw out bearing etc, according to ATRA) with that technique. Motorbikes (cycles) are considerably easy even the older ones. Do some other research, talk with others who have made it a habit. Coasting as you know can save an enormous amount of gas over time, especially if you live in hilly areas. Don't fear it, do it.
