Braking
WARNING
EWA14571
● Avoid braking hard or suddenly
(especially when leaning over to
one side), otherwise the motor-
cycle may skid or overturn.
● Keep in mind that braking on
wet surfaces is much more diffi-
cult.
● Ride slowly down a hill, as brak-
ing downhill can be very diffi-
cult.
1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes
simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
