RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

–
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 overstress the engine.
In this way, you have to apply the brakes far less frequently and the brake system does not overheat.
