Brake pads
New brake pads have to be run
in before they can achieve their
optimum friction levels. The
reduced braking effect can be
compensated for by greater pres-
sure on the brake lever.
WARNING
New brake pads
Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth sur-
face. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in pro-
cedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.
WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid ex-
tremely sharp inclines.
