CBS
This bike is equipped with a combined
braking system. By pulling the rear bra-
king lever, the rear brake is activated as
well as the front one (partially). For a com-
plete and efficient braking, pull the rear
and front braking levers at the same time,
as with the braking system of conventio-
nal bikes.
As in case of braking systems of conven-
tional bikes, an excessively strong, quick
use of the braking controls may lock the
wheels, thus reducing the vehicle control
power.
For normal braking, use both the front
and the rear brake depending on stroke
speed. For max. braking, close the throttle
and pull the rear and front braking levers
firmly.
WARNING
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match
the riding speed even with CBS.
• The CBS performs best with long
braking distances.
• On certain surfaces, such as rough
or gravel roads, the braking di-
stance may be longer with the CBS
than without.
