Coasting downhill to save petrol - opinions?
Hi all,
Have a few long, remote passes to cross over the next few weeks and was wondering what your opinions would be on coasting downhill, i.e. engine OFF, to save petrol? Aside from the loss of traction, are there any other problems for the bike itself? In my instruction manual it tells me (Honda XR250 Tornado) that coasting over long distances can cause damage to the transmission. Do you coast or think it´s not worth it?
Cheers,
Rtw
