I'm old school and blip the throttle on downshifts (while applying 10/10th braking etc) but do find the slipper helps to stabilise the bike. Especially usefull in tricky situations ie., braking downhill / over bumps, while changing direction etc.

jeez ian, you never told me the bike was old!
you gonna knock some off now?
