RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

–
On sandy, wet or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
–
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. To do so, shift back one or two gears, but do not overrev the
engine. You will need to apply the brakes far less often and the brake system will not overheat.
