follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle's future reliability and performance.

acceleration.

Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking and sudden
shifting to a lower gear.
u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.
u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk wheel slippage.

surfaces, and braking distances are longer.
●

reducing their effectiveness.
