How to Ride the Motorcycle
102
Warning
Riding with your foot on the brake
pedal or your hands on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a
false indication to other road users.
It may also overheat the brake,
reducing braking effectiveness leading
to loss of motorcycle control and an
accident.
Warning
Do not coast with the engine switched
off, and do not tow the motorcycle.
The transmission is pressure
lubricated only when the engine is
running.
Inadequate lubrication may cause
damage or seizure of the transmission,
which can lead to sudden loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
When using the motorcycle on
loose, wet, or muddy roads, braking
effectiveness will be reduced by dust,
mud or moisture collecting on the
brakes.
Always brake earlier in these
conditions to make sure that brake
surfaces are cleaned by the braking
action.
Riding the motorcycle with brakes
contaminated with dust, mud or
moisture may cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Caution
Due to the nature of the partially
integrated braking system, any
attempts to spin the rear wheel while
the front brake is applied (Burnout) will
cause damage to the braking system
and drivetrain.
