General brake system
Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use
only the rear brakes when de-
scending mountain passes.
Under extreme conditions, the
brakes could overheat and
suffer severe damage.
Use both front and rear
brakes, and make use of the
engine's braking effect as
well.
Wet brakes
After the motorcycle has
been washed, ridden
through water or ridden in the
rain, the brake disks and pads
might be wet and the brakes
might not take effect immedi-
ately.
Brake early until the brakes
are dry or braked until dry.
