hi I recently started riding motorcycles, I bought a 2 stroke YZ 250 and it's going all good but I have just one question..... sorry if this is a stupid question

OK say I'm in first gear going down a large hill, when I go down it, it makes a humming noise in the engine.... is this supposed to happen? It's like it's forcing itself to slow down(which it really is I guess)

What would be the best thing to do..? Hold in the clutch the whole way down, or shift it into neutral for the whole way down... or just leave it in 1st and have the bike force itself to slow down the whole way down?


again, sorry if this is a stupid question but I need an explanation keep in mind im new to riding motorcycles only 15 too
 
first gear and brake if hil is big if not just gas and go an dshift up to go faster wouldnt want to squease clutch that would make you go faster
