10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 82
Warning
Danger of accidents Greater stopping distance due to ABS.
– Braking should be appropriate to the driving situation and the road conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents Very forceful braking can cause the wheels to block.
– ABS must be switched on to be effective.
Warning
Danger of accidents Vehicle rollover
– It is not always possible to prevent vehicle rollover in extreme riding situations (e. g. luggage loaded with a high center of grav-
ity, varying road surfaces, steep descents, full braking without disengaging the gear). Adapt your riding style to the road condi-
tions and your driving ability.
– When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When the ABS is enabled, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery
terrain without locking of the wheels.
Warning
Danger of accidents Locking of the wheels due to braking action of the engine.
– Pull the clutch during emergency braking, full brake application and when braking on a slippery surface.
Warning
Danger of accidents Road grip is reduced when braking with the motorcycle at an angle or on a laterally inclined surface.
– Braking should be completed before you enter into a bend.
– Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
