Riding Precautions
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking and
●
downshifting.
Sudden braking can reduce the
u
motorcycle's stability.
Where possible, reduce speed before
u
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
The tires slip more easily on such
u
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
Repeated braking, such as when
u
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
●
the front and rear brakes together.

#
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the
brakes from locking up during hard braking.
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
●
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 6
●
mph (10 km/h).
The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
●
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear
●
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
