How to Ride the Motorcycle
99
Warning
For your safety, always exercise
extreme caution when braking,
accelerating or turning as any
incautious action can cause loss of
control and an accident. Independent
use of the front or rear brakes
reduces overall braking performance.
Extreme braking may cause either
wheel to lock, reducing control of the
motorcycle and causing an accident
(see ABS warnings below).
When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn as closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip leading to loss of
control and an accident.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions,
or on loose surfaces, the ability to
manoeuvre and stop will be reduced.
All of your actions should be smooth
under these conditions. Sudden
acceleration, braking or turning may
cause loss of control and an accident.
Warning
When descending a long, steep
gradient or mountain pass, make use
of the engine's braking effect by down
changing and use both front and rear
brakes intermittently.
Continuous brake application or use of
the rear brake only can overheat the
brakes and reduce their effectiveness
leading to loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Riding with your foot on the brake
pedal or your hands on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a
false indication to other road users.
It may also overheat the brake,
reducing braking effectiveness leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Do not coast with the engine switched
off, and do not tow the motorcycle.
The transmission is pressure
lubricated only when the engine is
running.
Inadequate lubrication may cause
damage or seizure of the transmission,
which can lead to sudden loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
When using the motorcycle on
loose, wet, or muddy roads, braking
effectiveness will be reduced by dust,
mud or moisture collecting on the
brakes.
Always brake earlier in these
conditions to make sure that brake
surfaces are cleaned by the braking
action.
Riding the motorcycle with brakes
contaminated with dust, mud or
moisture may cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
