Suzuki V-STROM 1050 2022 Manual page 17

 WARNING
Overbraking when traction is limited
will cause your tires to skid, possibly
resulting in loss of directional con-
trol or causing you and your motor-
cycle to fall over.
Brake carefully when traction is lim-
ited.
NOTE: After the motorcycle has been
washed or when it has traveled through
puddles, the brakes may grip poorly. If
the brakes grip poorly, travel at low
speed while paying sufficient attention
to the front and rear of the motorcycle,
operating the brakes lightly until they
grip firmly.
Flooded road
Do not ride your motorcycle on flooded
roads.
If you do ride your motorcycle on a
flooded road, go slowly checking brak-
ing operation.
After riding on a flooded road, ask your
Suzuki dealer to check for the following:
• Braking efficiency
• Wet connectors, wiring and water in
the battery box
• Drive belt slipping
• Poor lubrication for bearings etc.
• Level and appearance of gear oil (if
oil is whitish, there is water into the
oil and an oil change is required)
