The motorcycle slows down uphill, accelerates downhill, and it does not disengage automatically when you brake or pull in the clutch.

As you open the throttle, squeeze the ring between your little finger and palm: the ring screws in and creates the friction that holds the grip in position. To disengage it, make the same gesture while closing the throttle. When disengaged, the grip should open and close freely on its own, as if the device were not installed.
