Operation Manual

• When descending a long, steep grade, use
engine compression braking by down-
shifting, with intermittent use of both
brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat
the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
• Riding with your foot resting on the brake
pedal or your hand on the brake lever may
actuate the brakelight, giving a false
indication to other drivers. It may also
overheat the brakes, reducing
effectiveness.
