BRAKING
For normal braking, gradually apply both the
front and rear brakes while downshifting to
suit your road speed.
For maximum deceleration, close the throttle
and apply the front and rear brakes firmly.
Pull in the clutch lever before coming to a
complete stop to prevent stalling the engine.
Important Safety Reminders:
• Independent operation of only the brake
lever or brake pedal reduces stopping
performance.
• Extreme application of the brake controls
may cause wheel 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 conditions, or
on loose surfaces, the ability to maneuver
and stop will be reduced. All of your actions
should be smooth under these conditions.
Rapid acceleration, braking or turning may
cause loss of control. For your safety,
exercise extreme caution when braking,
accelerating or turning.
• When descending a long, steep grade, use
engine compression braking by down-
shifting, with intermittent use of both
brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat
the brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
