Yeah good to hear as thats exactly what I'm doing. But I want to go faster. I can ride my mtb down a lot faster. Need to learn to have confidence to lean front in. Probelsm is with the weight getting it slowed or stopped is a lot harder than mtb. Think I need a little more pressure in front tyre for downhill and it was loaded up and squishy at 14psi.
Plus I need to get some trousers with grip on the inside of knees so I can load my weight to brace myself there through the tank. My mtb pants don't have grip there, so weight is through hands which makes throttle control and steering hard.

Low gear, engine braking, and light use of front brake. Avoid locking rear wheel and skidding by use of rear brake. This is how I was shown on slippery muddy downhill ruts.
