Practice taking a quick glance at your shift speed going up the gears. That will help you judge in the down shifts. Your brain has a way of figuring visual acuity and giving you that “feel”. I don’t know about your particular bike but I know on my V900 it has a very distinctive clunk when I drop down into first, especially at “faster then I need to be” for that gear.
