Braking
To slow or stop, apply the front brake lever and rear brake
pedal smoothly, while downshifting to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the brakes slowing
your speed. To prevent stalling the engine, pull the clutch
lever in before coming to a complete stop. For support,
put your left foot down first, then your right foot when
you are through using the rear brake pedal.
For maximum braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the front brake lever and rear brake pedal controls.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause the wheels to
lock and slide, reducing control of your Cota. If this hap-
pens, release the brake controls, steer straight ahead until
you regain control, then reapply the brakes more gently.
Generally, reduce your speed or complete braking befo-
re 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 Cota.
When riding in wet or raining conditions, or on loose sur-
faces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be reduced.
All of your actions should be smooth under these condi-
tions. Rapid acceleration, braking, or turning may cause
loss of control. For your safety, exercise extreme caution
when braking, accelerating, or turning.
When descending a long, steep grade, use engine com-
pression braking by downshifting, with intermittent use
of both brakes.
When you brake to a stop, pull the clutch lever in before
stopping completely to prevent stalling the engine. For
support, put your left foot on the ground first, then your
right foot when you have finish braking.
Remember to close the throttle and pull the clutch lever in
completely before shifting.
NOTICE
Improper shifting may damage the engine, transmission,
and drive train.
Learning when to shift gears comes with experience.
Upshift to a higher gear or reduce throttle before engine
min-1 (rpm) (speed) gets too high. Downshift to a lower
gear before you feel the engine laboring (lugging) at low
min-1 (rpm).
NOTICE
Downshifting can help slow your motorcycle, especially
on downhills. However, downshifting when engine min-1
(rpm) is too high can cause engine damage.
NOTICE
To prevent transmission damage, do not coast or tow the
motorcycle for long distances with the engine off.
Parking
Lower the side stand to support your Cota.
Always choose a level surface to park.
