2. Even when the brake works normally, if the road
surface is wet or the tyre surface is worn-out, tyres do
not take a firm hold on the surface, increasing the
stopping distance.
3. Approximately 60% braking effect is from front
brake.
Non-usage of front brake causes poor
braking.
Braking
For safe riding, it is very important to master the braking
techniques.
1. Close / release the throttle.
2. Hold the vehicle upright as you apply the brake.
3. Progressive application of brakes is safer.
4. Never depress the clutch lever while braking at
higher speeds.
5.
Apply both the brakes.
6. Riding down hills, while cornering and wet
roads close throttle and down shift the gear to
take advantage of gearbox and engine which
acts as an additional brake. This will avoid the
loss of control over the vehicle due to over
speed.
Causes for poor braking
1. If the brake shoes / pads or drum / disc are worn
out or if there is water or oil on them, sufficient
friction does not develop and brakes do not work
well.
SAFE RIDING TIPS
04
As the vehicle speed increases, the stopping distance
also increases progressively. Be sure that, you have
sufficient distance between you and the vehicle or
obstruction ahead of you. Avoid directing the water jet
directly towards brake drum/disc pads during water
wash.
Using only the front or rear brake is dangerous and can
cause skidding and loss of control.
Apply both
the brakes together and with great care on a wet
road or other slippery surfaces.
Any abrupt braking
on slippery or irregular roads can cause loss of rider
control.
