Braking 

Always try to apply the front and rear brakes together, and with equal 

force. This will improve stability 

 

Use gear shifting to slow down.  

The use of engine braking to assist smooth speed reduction is 

recommended. 

 

 

An inexperienced driver always uses the rear brake only. This will cause 

premature wear to brake linings and will extend braking distances.  

It is dangerous to use front brake or rear brake only. This can cause skidding 

and loss of control. On wet highways or other loosel road surfaces and during 
turning, be extremely careful to apply the brakes gently. Hard braking on loose 
or wet road surfaces is very dangerous.  

 

         To park your motorcycle on a gentle slope using the side stand, engage first 
gear to prevent sliding back off the side stand. Remember to shift to neutral 
gear before starting the engine.  

Turn the ignition switch to OFF position to shutdown the engine.

Warning 

The faster the vehicle is driven, the longer the braking distance will be. 

Be sure to make correct estimation of the distance between you and the 
vehicle or object in front of you for safe braking performance.
