Riding Precautions
Running-in Period
During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle's
future reliability and performance.
●
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●
Avoid hard braking.
●
Ride conservatively.
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking.
u
Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
stability.
u
Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u
The tyres slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
●
Avoid continuous braking.
u
Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness.
●
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
