BRAKING
I.
For
normal braking, gradually apply
both front and
rear
brakes while
downshifting
to
suit
your
road speed.
2.
For
maximum deceleration, close
the
throttle and apply the
front
and rear
brakes firmly. Disengage
the
clutch
before the motorcycle stops.
t?tfi;!Ut#ri
* Independent use
of
only
the
front
or
rear brake reduces stopping perform·
ance.
Extreme
braking
may
cause
either wheel to lock, reducing
control
of
the
motorcycle.
•
When
possible reduce speed
or
brake
before entering a turn; closing
the
throttle
or
braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip.
Wheel slip will reduce
control
of
the motorcycle.
*
When
riding in
wet
or
rainy condi-
tions, or on loose surfaces,
the
ability
to maneuver and stop will be reduced.
All
of
your
actions should be
smooth
30
under
these conditions. Sudden ac·
ce/eration, braking
or
turning may
cause loss
of
control. For
your
safety,
exercise
extreme
caution when brak·
ing, accelerating
or
turning.
• When descending a long, steep grade,
use engine compression braking by
downshifting, with
intermittent
use
of
both
brakes. Continuous brake appli·
cation can overheat
the
brakes
and
reduce their effectiveness.
