| Big V twins and singles are worst for engine braking, its usually easy enough to blip throttle as you go down box but on steep downhills it requires a 2 finger brake, blip throttle with other 2 fingers all while keeping weight on your wrists. The quicker you are going and more gears to shift down the worse the back end lock which is why racers use it. I just want it cos my favourite road involves a couple of hard braking 2 -3 gear shifts into downhill corners.
