10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
168
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.
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to
your road speed.
–
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not
over-rev the engine. In this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.
