10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
70
Warning
Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
–
Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger or luggage with you.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Salt on the roads impairs the brake system.
–
Brake carefully several times to remove salt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
Danger of accidents ABS may increase the stopping distance in certain situations.
–
Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
The ABS effectiveness is only ensured if it is switched on.
–
Leave the ABS switched on in order to benefit from the protective effect.
Warning
Danger of accidents
The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
–
Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can reduce the probability of a fall only within physical limits.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for example with luggage loaded
with a high center of gravity, varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking without disengaging
the gear.
–
Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.
–
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When the ABS is enabled, maximum braking power can be achieved even with low road grip sur-
faces such as sandy, wet, or slippery terrain without locking the wheels.
Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
–
If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
–
Always finish the braking before you go into a bend. Shift down to a lower gear appropriate to your speed.
–
Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. To do so, shift back one or two gears, but
do not overrev the engine. This means that significantly less braking is required and the brake system does
not overheat.
