! WARNING !
Inexperienced riders tend to under
use front brake. This can cause
excessive stopping distance and
lead to a collision. Using only front
or rear brake can cause skidding
and loss of control.
Apply both brakes evenly and at the
same time.
Use the braking effect of the engine
when driving downhill to assist the
brakes; change down one or two gears
but do not over-speed the engine. This
way, you will not need to use the
brakes so much and avoid overheating.
! WARNING !
Hard braking while turning may
cause wheel skid and loss of
control.
Brake before you begin to turn.
! WARNIN
G !
Hard braking on wet, loose, rough or
other slippery surfaces can cause
wheel skid and loss of control.
Brake lightly and with care on
slippery or irregular surfaces.
STOPPING AND PARKING
Apply the brakes fully and put the
engine into neutral. To turn off the
engine, apply the emergency off button
or turn the key to OFF position on the
ignition switch with the engine at idling
speed until the engine stops. Park on
an area where the ground is firm and
lock the motorcycle .
! WARNING !
