3. Squeeze and hold the brake lever while completing steps 4-6.
4. Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.
5. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehi-
cle is pointing straight uphill.
6. Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left.
7. Slowly release the brake lever and allow the vehicle to roll around
to your right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.
8. Squeeze the brake lever. Remount from the uphill side. Keep your
weight uphill.
9. With the transmission still in forward, start the engine
10. Release the brake lever and drive
slowly
downhill. Control speed
