P&G on a bike? How?

I'm new at this. If I understand correctly, pulse & glide means accelerating to a certain speed, turning off the engine, putting the gearbox in neutral and coasting down to a lower speed, then going into gear again and bumpstarting the engine.

Also there are other things like coasting down hills with the engine off.

How is that done with a bike, with the sequential gearbox? People aren't really getting into neutral are they? But if they are just pulling the clutch in, leaving it in gear, isn't there a lot of drag with the wet clutch and engaged gears?
