FE/FC Engine braking?

The engine braking on my '07 TE450 was very strong. Riding downhill in low gear felt like two-wheel drive.

Do the 2015 and newer FE Huskies have this feature? Was it lost during the BMW years?

Thats a 4 stroke thing.... they are all going to do it unless you have a rekluse clutch

Rekluse doesn't effect engine braking unless you slow the engine down to near idle and then it will release causing you to free wheel. But a quick blip of the throttle will re-engage it and you'll be engine braking again.

Yes all 4t do it but some brands have much much less. Your TE450 will have more compared to any of the new bikes. I had a 2008 TE250 and with the engine braking it had I used it to climb inverted lipped hills.

My downhills sucks cos of this 4T engine braking nonesense....so l just click it into neutral (if l can find it) and go down like a 2T/no engine braking just front and rear brakes

And then there's me thinking that one of the main requirements to ride these bikes properly is to master the clutch....

Using the clutch controls the descent which will preserve energy or even add speed.

Narh...that's only for uphills, tight single track and popping mono's...steep rocky descents...who needs a clutch
