Emergency braking
If you brake sharply from a speed
in excess of 50 km/h the brake
light flashes rapidly as a warning
for road users behind you.
If you brake until your speed is
less than 15 km/h, the hazard
warning lights start to flash as
well. The hazard warning lights
switch off automatically as soon
as you start to accelerate and
vehicle speed reaches 20 km/h.
Descending mountain
passes
WARNING
Braking only with the rear
brake on mountain descents
Brake fade, destruction of the
brakes due to overheating
Use both front and rear brakes,
and make use of the engine's
braking effect as well.
Wet and dirty brakes
Wetness and dirt on the brake
discs and the brake pads dimin-
ish braking efficiency.
Delayed braking action or poor
braking efficiency must be
reckoned with in the following
situations:
Riding in the rain or through
puddles of water.
After the vehicle has been
washed.
Riding on salted or gritted
roads.
After work has been carried on
the brakes, due to traces of oil
or grease.
Riding on dirt-covered surfaces
or off-road.
WARNING
Wetness and dirt result in
diminished braking efficiency
Risk of accident
Apply the brakes lightly while
riding to remove wetness and
dirt, or dismount and clean the
brakes.
Think ahead and brake in good
time until full braking efficiency
is restored.
Parking your
motorcycle
Side stand
Switch off the engine.
ATTENTION
Poor ground underneath the
stand
Risk of damage to parts if vehicle
