Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and
then brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before
stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.
Warning
Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking.
Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking
power.
Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may
lock the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will
become less effective. Always use the brakes very gently
and carefully when riding under these conditions.
Any sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.
When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts,
shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at
a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes
applied all the time would cause the friction material to
overheat and reduce braking power dangerously.
Underinflated or overinflated tyres reduce braking
efficiency and may affect safe riding and motorcycle good
handling while turning.
Stopping the motorcycle
If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will
slow down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down
releasing the clutch, and finally change from first to
neutral. Apply brakes and you will bring the motorcycle to
a complete stop. To switch the engine off, simply turn the
key to
OFF
