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.
