8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
65
Warning
Danger of accidents Failure of brake system.
–
If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously. The rear brake may fail due to overheating. Take your
foot off the foot brake lever when you are not braking.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Longer stopping distance due to higher overall weight.
–
Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger and baggage.
Warning
Danger of accidents Delayed brake action on salted roads.
–
There may be salt deposits on the brake discs. In order to restore the normal braking efficiency, you will need to remove the
deposits from the discs by carefully applying the brakes.
(Option: Without ABS)
Warning
Danger of accidents If you brake too hard, the wheels can lock.
–
Adapt your braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.
–
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
–
On sandy, wet, or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
–
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not over rev the engine. In
this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.
