Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
–
Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
–
If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
–
Always finish braking before the beginning of the curve. Shift down to a lower gear appropriate to your speed.
–
Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. To do so, shift back one or two gears, but do
not overrev the engine. This means that significantly less braking is required and the brake system does not
overheat.
