Speaking of clutch disengaement on the downhills...Free wheeling down those mountain trails in CO with the engine off is hands down the best way to get yourself totally dialed in on your braking technic. Nothing like several thousand feet of steep descent to get you in practice. I spent an entire half day running my little TW up the trail until it reached the elevation where it simply couldn't climb any further ( about 12,000 feet) Then i would turn off the engine and free roll all the way down to the bottom. I must have done that at least 20 times. My ability to apply just the right amount of front & rear binders improved greatly, as did my ability to carry rolling momentum thru a corner. I adamantly advise anyone to try this on a few long steep descents. Watch and see if your braking & riding abilities don't suddenly improve.
