Warning
Danger of accidents If you brake too hard, the wheels can lock.

Adapt your braking to the traffic situation and the road conditions.
–
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
–
On sandy, wet, or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.

this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.
