56 RIDING
Brake pads
New brake pads have to bed-
ded in before they can achieve
their optimum frictional force.
This initial reduction in braking
efficiency can be compensated
for by exerting greater pressure
on the brake levers.
WARNING
New brake pads
Extension of the braking dis-
tance, accident hazard
Brake early.
Tyres
New tires have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened
by riding in a restrained man-
ner at various lean angles until
the tires are run in. Only once
the surface has been rough-
ened can the tires achieve max-
imum grip.
WARNING
Loss of adhesion of new
tires on wet roads and at
extreme angles
Accident hazard
Always think well ahead and
avoid extreme angles.
