If it a very steep hill I usaly put the bike nutral and just use the brakes..
or hold the clutch in.... carry over from my trials days..
also at the speed you tend to go down steep slow hills the clutch has
already disengauged...
There is a little learning curve with it... but I'm sold on them...

The first ride I had with it was on open gravel roads & tracks , I wasn't to impressed... but the next ride was on tight single tracks & river beds..
I was able to hang with KDX200 , YZF250 , WR250 , GasGas ec200 ,
hang with!!!... "well always had them in site anyway"..not bad for a 400lb pig riden by a old fart past his dirt bike use by date
against some hybread light weight 2 & 4 strokes..
I'm thinking putting the Rekluse Z start pro in the WR250f..Is there top of the line unit..

All my new dirt bikes from now on get chosen from the rekluse clutch fitment list...........If it an't on the list me no want...
