BRAKING

Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulically
activated disc brake in front and mechanically
operated rear brakes. Operating the brake
lever applies the front disc brake. Depressing
the brake pedal applies the rear brake.
(For Drum & Disc)
For normal braking, apply both the brake
pedal and lever while down-shifting to
match your road speed. For maximum
braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch
lever before coming to a complete stop to
prevent stalling the engine.
(For CBS)
Both brakes can be applied with the help of
rear brake pedal only. However, for more
effective braking, it is advised to apply both
front and rear brake simultaneously
Important Safety Reminders:
• Independent operation of only the brake
lever or brake pedal reduces stopping
performance in case of disc and drum
brake variant.
