       Engine braking, downhill, off trail is a no no from all I've
       learned.

       The 690's gearing is an odd duck; too tall in 1st and too short
       in 6th.  I currently do plenty of freeway jaunts, so I'll stick
       with stock.  Once I stop using the bike as a commuter, I'll
       probably get a higher toothed sprocket out back.
       The one saving grace (on the 2014 at least) is the smooth
       throttle.  I can run at very low idle without the snatchiness
       I'd expect from a big thumper.  Still, the slowest I can idle
       along without clutch is about 8-9 miles an hour.  I'd prefer
       5-6.

       I dropped 1 tooth up front and changed the map setting to
       'crazy' (ok , sport mode) and get better engine braking now.  I
       put the mapping back when on the road so it's not too herky
       jerky.
