WARNING!
Never lock either the front or rear brake. This could cause
loss of control, resulting in possible personal injury and
damage to the motorcycle.
After riding in heavy rain without applying the brakes
or through water deep enough to wet the brake
components, the
initial braking
action may
be somewhat
reduced. In such
circumstances,
increased brake
pressure may be
necessary. Be sure
to maintain a safe
distance from the
vehicles in front.
WARNING!
Resting your foot on the rear brake pedal will cause
excessive and premature wear of the brake pads. This
can also overheat the brakes resulting in reduced
braking effi ciency. When the brakes are overheated,
stopping distances may increase.
CAUTION!
During initial break-in of your motorcycle attention
should be paid to the ‘seating’ of the brake components.
Brake pads need up to 250 miles regular urban use
where brakes are used frequently (not highway cruising)
to allow pads to mate with new rotors. During this time
brake performance will be less eff ective. As with many
new parts on your motorcycle they will benefi t from
gentle use until seating is accomplished. During this
time avoid using brakes harshly unless in an emergency.
Riders will observe a gradual increase in brake effi
ciency
as the motorcycle is used during the seating period.
Kickstand - Your motorcycle is equipped with a
kickstand located on the left side of the motorcycle.
When using the kickstand, always turn the handlebars
to the left for maximum stability.
(See fi gure 10) .
WARNING!
If the kickstand is not in the full forward position when
the motorcycle weight is rested on it, the motorcycle
could fall over, possibly causing injury and damage to
the motorcycle.
