3.10 Braking
Make sure that you can always reach the brakes comfortably and that you
are familiar with their operation and position. Note which brake lever
operates the front and rear brakes.
DANGER
Practise braking in a safe place before venturing into road traffic.
In some instances, the braking effect can be different or stronger
than what you are used to. If you do not take the time to familiarise
yourself with the braking effect, you could cause a serious accident.
Practise until you feel safe. Dismount if you ever feel unsafe.
Replace the brake pads when they
reach the safe wear limit. Using worn brake pads can result in serious
injuries with fatal consequences.
CAUTION
Disc brake

after intensive use of the brakes
