BRAKING BRAKING BRAKING BRAKING BRAKING
Close the throttle and brake at the same time progressively with the
front and rear brakes. Insert a lower gear depending on speed. On
dusty, wet or slippery surfaces, operate the brakes and change down
the gears gently without locking the wheels. Locking the wheels leads
to swerving or a fall.
When following long descending roads, make use of the engine’s
braking effect. To do this, insert the 1st or 2nd gear, without however
increasing the revs. excessively. In this way you will have to brake
much less and the brakes will not overheat.
- IN CASE OF RAIN, AFTER WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE, AFTER
IMMERSION IN WATER OR TRAVELLING OVER WET GROUND, THE
BRAKING ACTION COULD BE DELAYED BECAUSE OF WET OR DIRTY
BRAKE DISCS.THE BRAKES MUST THEREFORE BE OPERATED
REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE DISCS ARE DRY AND CLEAN.
- THE BRAKING ACTION CAN ALSO BE DELAYED WHEN TRAVELLING ON
DIRTY ROADS OR ROADS COVERED WITH SALT. THE BRAKES MUST BE
OPERATED UNTIL THE DISCS ARE CLEAN.
- WHEN THE BRAKE DISCS ARE DIRTY THERE IS GREATER WEAR OF THE
PADS AND THE BRAKE DISCS THEMSELVES.
- AFTER USING THE BRAKES, THE DISC, THE PADS, THE CALIPERS AND
THE BRAKE FLUID HEAT UP. THE HOTTER THESE PARTS, THE LESS THE
BRAKING EFFECT. IN CASE OF OVERHEATING THE ENTIRE BRAKING
SYSTEM MAY NOT WORK.
- IF THE FORCE AT THE FRONT BRAKE LEVER OR BRAKE PEDAL IS MINIMAL,
THERE COULD BE A FAULT IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. IN THIS CASE IT IS
A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THE MOTORCYCLE CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED
TM DEALER.

MOTORCYCLES PRODUCE A LOT OF HEAT DURING WORKING. THE ENGINE,
RADIATORS, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS AS WELL AS SHOCK
ABSORBERS CAN ALL BECOME VERY HOT. NEVER TOUCH THESE PARTS
WHEN DRIVING AND AFTER HAVING SWITCHED THE ENGINE OFF, PARK THE
MOTORCYCLE IN A WAY THAT PEDESTRIANS CANNOT TOUCH THEM AND
BE BURNED.

PARKED. IF IT IS NOT CLOSED, THE FUEL COULD RUN OUT INTO THE
CARBURETOR AND PENETRATE THE ENGINE, FLOODING IT.
