Braking
Your ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency
situation are important riding skills.
When descending a long, steep grade, use engine compression
braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and reduce
their effectiveness.
Riding with your hand on the front brake lever or your foot resting
on the rear brake pedal may overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.
For information on how to apply the brakes in various riding
situations, see the following section, Riding Your ATV.
