5. Coordinate the throttle and brakes for
smooth dec
eleration.
6. Both front and rear brakes should be
used at the same time and should not be
applied strongly enough to lock the
wheel, or braking effectiveness will be
reduced and control of the vehicle
be difficult.
BRAKING
Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulically-
activated disc brake in front and rear.
Operating the brake lever applies the front
disc brake. Pressing the brake pedal applies
the rear disc brake.
For normal braking, apply both the brake
pedal and lever while down-shifting to
match your road speed. For maximum
braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch
lever before coming to a complete stop to
prevent stalling the engine.
Important Safety Reminders:
• Independent operation of only the
brake lever or brake pedal reduces
stopping performance.
• Extreme application of the brake
controls may cause wheel lock, reducing
control of the vehicle.
• When possible, reduce speed or
brake before entering a turn;
closing the throttle or braking
in mid-turn may cause wheel slip.
Wheel slip will reduce control of the
vehicle.
• When riding in wet or rainy
conditions, or on loose surfaces,
the ability to maneuver and stop will
be reduced. All of your actions
should be smooth under these
conditions. Rapid acceleration,
braking or turning may cause loss
of control. For your safety, exercise
extreme caution when braking,
accelerating or turning.
• When descending a long, steep grade,
use engine compression braking by
downshifting, with intermittent use of
both brakes.
•
Continuous brake application can
overheat the brakes and reduce their
effectiveness.
