1. Front Brake Lever
BRAKING
WARNING: WHEN BRAKING,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving
the clutch engaged to allow the
engine to help slow down the
motorcycle.
Change down one gear at a time such
that the transmission is in first gear
when the motorcycle comes to a
complete stop.
When stopping, always apply both
brakes at the same time. Normally the
front brake should be applied a little
more than the rear.
Change down or fully disengage the
clutch as necessary to keep the
engine from stalling.
Never lock the brakes, as this may
cause loss of control of the
motorcycle and an accident.
1. Rear Brake Pedal
WARNING: For emergency
braking,
disregard
down
changing,
and
concentrate
on
applying the front and rear brakes as
hard as possible without skidding.
Riders should practice emergency
braking in a traffic--free area.
Triumph strongly recommend that all
riders take a course of instruction
which includes advice on safe brake
operation. Incorrect brake technique
could result in loss of control and an
accident.
