4. Braking :
• Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged (except where shifting gears)
so that the engine braking will help slow
down the motorcycle.
• Shift down one gear at a time so that you
are in Neutral when you come to a complete
stop.
• When stopping, always apply both brakes at
the same time. De-clutch as necessary to
avoid engine stalling.
• Never lock the brakes, or it will cause the
tyres to skid. When cornering, use brakes
judiciously and do not de-clutch. Reduce
your speed before you get into the corner.
