the drive clutch is also an engine brake. When you close ( back off) the throttle the clutch locks to the engine shaft and uses the compression of the engine to slow you down. With my stock engine it is impressive. With a highly modified engine it would really be something to feel.
While not a Jake-Brake, which uses and engines exhaust to slow the vehicle down, the result is about the same.
The bikes engine is turned into a momentum air compressor. It drops out bat about 250 RPM and you free wheel. If you blip the engine, the clutch engages/disengages almost instantly braking the bike again.
Other than really steep ( as in you can't stand up) the brake works well in slowing you down.
A panic stop using the Maxamatic and the bikes two brakes will smoke the tires as every thing locks up.
The instant you give the engine the "gas" your moving again under power. There is no delay.
