10 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to
your road speed.
–
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not
over-rev the engine. In this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.
