For maximum deceleration/quick
stopping, close the throttle and apply the
front and rear brakes simultaneously.
For normal braking, close the throttle
and gradually apply both front and rear
brakes simultaneously while shifting
down gears to suit your road speed.
Independent use of only the front or rear
brake increases stopping distance.
Extreme braking may cause wheel
locking and reduce control over the
motorcycle.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions,
or on loose surfaces the ability to stop
the motorcycle reduces.
Wherever possible, reduce speed or
apply brake before entering a turn
closing the throttle or braking in
midturn may cause wheel slip. Wheel
slip will reduce control over the
motorcycle.
All your actions should be smooth
under these conditions. Sudden
accelerations, braking or turning may
cause loss of control. For your safety,
e x e r c i s e e x t r e m e c a u t i o n w h e n
braking, accelerating or turning.
When descending a long steep slope use
engine braking (power) by changing to
lower gears, with intermittent use of both
brakes. Continuous brake application
can overheat the brakes and reduce their
effectiveness.
Do not shift gears without operating clutch
and without closing the throttle otherwise
this would lead to damage of gears.
While parking vehicle on side stand
engage the first gear.
