Warning
For your safety,

accelerating or
improper action can cause loss of
control and an accident. Independent
use of the front or rear brakes
reduces overall braking performance.
Extreme braking may cause either
wheel to lock, reducing control of the
motorcycle and causing an accident
(see ABS warnings).
When possible, reduce speed or brake
before entering a turn as closing the
throttle or braking in mid-turn may
cause wheel slip leading to loss of
control and an accident.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions,
or on loose surfaces, the ability to
