8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Info
When ABS is active, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery ter-
rain without locking of the wheels.
Warning
Danger of accidents Locking of the wheels due to braking action of the engine.
–
Pull the clutch during emergency braking, full brake application and when braking on a slippery surface.
Warning
Danger of accidents Road grip is reduced when braking with the motorcycle at an angle or on a laterally inclined surface.
–
Braking should be completed before you enter into a bend.
–
Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
–
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not over rev the engine. In
this way, you have to brake far less and the brakes do not overheat.
