WHEN STOPPING UPHILL, DECELERATE COMPLETELY AND ONLY USE THE
BRAKES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION.
USING THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED COULD CAUSE
THE CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT. BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHEN DRIVING
DOWNHILL COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PADS TO OVERHEAT, WHICH RE-
DUCES BRAKING AND LIMITS BRAKING POWER.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE ENGINE COMPRESSION, DOWNSHIFTING
AND USING BOTH BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY.
WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.
WHEN RIDING ON WET OR POOR GRIP SURFACES (SNOW, ICE, MUD, ETC.)
MAINTAIN A MODERATE SPEED, AVOIDING SUDDEN BRAKING OR MANOEU-
VRES THAT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF TRACTION AND POSSIBLY A CRASH
OR ACCIDENT.
