Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Generally, reduce your speed or complete
braking before beginning a turn. Avoid braking
or closing the throttle quickly while turning.
Either action may cause one or both wheels to
slip. Any wheel slip will reduce your control of
your motorcycle.
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.
To slow or stop, apply the front brake and rear
brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting to
match your speed. Gradually increase braking
as you feel the brakes slowing your speed. For
support, put your left foot down first, then your
right foot when you have finished using the
rear brake.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and
firmly apply the brake lever and pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the
wheels to lock and slide, reducing control of
your motorcycle. If this happens, release the
brake controls, steer straight ahead until you
regain control, then reapply the brakes more
gently.
When descending a long, steep grade, use
engine compression braking by downshifting,
with intermittent use of both brakes.
