How should you brake if you ride a motorcycle in a mountainous area?

Driving in mountainous terrain, as shown in the picture, often involves long and steep descents. Using only the service brakes in such conditions risks them overheating and losing their braking effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to use engine braking (gear reduction) to maintain a safe speed, using the service brakes as a supplement. This ensures constant control over the vehicle and the full efficiency of the braking system.
