Braking
Slow down in time, shift down to engine-brake first and then
brake applying both brakes. Pull the clutch lever before
stopping the motorcycle, to avoid sudden engine stop.
Warning
Use both brake lever and pedal for effective braking.
Using only one of the brakes will give you less braking
power.
Never use brake controls harshly or violently or you may lock
the wheels and lose control of the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will
become less effective. Always use the brakes very gently
and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any
sudden manoeuvres may lead to loss of control.
When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road tracts, shift
down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time
and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the
time would cause the friction material to overheat and
reduce braking power dangerously.
Under-inflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
Stopping the motorcycle
If you let go of the throttle twistgrip, the motorcycle will slow
down gradually and smoothly. Then, shift down releasing the
clutch, and finally change from first to neutral. Apply brakes
and you will bring the motorcycle to a complete stop. To
switch the engine off, simply turn the key to
OFF (page 19).
Important
Never leave the key in the ON position when engine is
stopped, or this will damage the electric components.
Parking
Stop the motorcycle, then put it on the side stand (see page
29).
Turn the handlebar fully left and block it by pushing in the
ignition key and turning it to the
LOCK position.
If you park in a garage or other facilities, make sure that there
is proper ventilation and that the motorcycle is not near a
source of heat.
You may leave the parking lights on by turning the key to
position
P .
Important
Do not leave the key turned to P for long periods or the
battery will run down. Never leave the ignition key in the
switch when you are leaving your bike unattended.
