Going Downhill - Yamaha YXR660FAS Owner's Manual

If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and you decide you will be un-
able to continue, use the brakes to come to a
stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around. With your foot on the brake, look be-
hind you and plan your descent. Leave the
drive select lever in forward so you can use
the engine if necessary to slow your descent.
Release the brake and begin to coast down
the hill. Use engine braking as much as possi-
ble, gently applying the brakes when neces-
sary.

GOING DOWNHILL

Check the terrain carefully before going down
a hill. When possible, choose a path that lets
you drive your vehicle straight downhill. Avoid
sharp angles that could allow the vehicle to
pitch or roll over. Carefully choose your path
and drive no faster than you will be able to re-
act to obstacles that may appear.
