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
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
Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
–
If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
–
Always finish 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. Shift back one or two gears, but do not
overrev the engine when doing so. This means that significantly less braking is required and the brake sys-
tem does not overheat.
