This is an automatic 4 stroke engine.

Yes, it's OK to coast down a hill without the engine running without damaging the engine. When the engine is not running, the engine and rear wheel are not engaged together. Put your scooter on the center stand and spin the rear wheel by hand. It spins freely with out turning the engine.

It won't harm a thing as long as you're in neutral. Not a thing. And if it'll roll in gear, you won't hurt anything in gear either. You won't have the benefit of being able to use the weight of the machine or the resistance of the gears to slow you down, so you may harm yourself but not the scooter.

It wont damage the engine if you are not in gear... if in gear, it might damage if the engine is Two stroke...
Either way, it might prove to be lethal as the braking will be poor.!

you are not really doing major harm but if you do it too long and too often you will hurt the motor, because when the motor is running and the transmission or chain is moving the parts are being kept lubricated and cooled and therefore better preserved.
