I slow down by running out of gas.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Brakes are cheaper than engine parts, but there are times that engine braking is the best for the situation at hand.

I use both....

 

if ur riding easy and have the space let ur engine slow u down dont down shift hard just let off the gas and let it go down in power than down shift

 

Tie a rope to your passnger, throw them off, and tell them to hang on to a tree.

 

I like the better control I get with down shifting (but not when I am going so fast that I will float a valve!). I also add in enough front brake to keep the back from skidding. Still, there are sometimes when you just have to lay on the brakes. Sometimes it has to be back brake only, like when your front end is headed into a rut (and a guarenteed endo), and sometimes both brakes.

I teach my kids the drill of pulling in the clutch, then evenly apply the back and front brakes so they have it down in case of an emergercy stop.

 

thanx guys i alweys use my engin unless im going way to fast or have to stop fast. just was making shure that this wasn't going to cost me lots of pain if it was hard on the engin. aneyways thanx for the help![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Well since my fourwheeler is broke down I ride the foreman and it has no brakes so i just use the motor. works fine for me...but i dont go too fast either.

 

I use both. I mostly use my front brakes amd the engine. and rarely use any back brake.
