Braking
26 Basic Operation and Riding
USING THE BRAKES
1. To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and the brake pedal
smoothly.
2. Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing your
speed.
3. For support, put your left foot down first, then your right foot
when you are finished using the brake pedal.
BRAKING DOS AND DON’TS
•
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to lock and
slide, reducing control of your Empulse. If this happens, release
the brake controls, steer straight ahead until you regain control,
then reapply the brakes more gently.
•
When possible, reduce your speed or complete braking before
entering a turn. Avoid braking while turning. Braking in a turn
may cause one or both wheels to slip and reduce control of your
Empulse.
•
The ability to brake in a turn and to brake hard in an emergency
situation are important riding skills. We suggest attending a
Motorcycle Safety Foundation experienced rider training course
to retain these skills.
•
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose surfaces, the
ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced. All of your actions
should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid acceleration,
braking, or turning may cause loss of control. For your safety,
exercise extreme caution when braking, accelerating, or turning.
•
When descending a long, steep grade, intermittently use both
brakes. Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes
and reduce their effectiveness.
•
Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hand on
the brake lever may actuate the brake light, giving a false
indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brakes,
reducing effectiveness.
