Attention
Although combined braking is available (rear
brake activation when rider uses only the front brake),
using the two brake controls separately reduces the
motorcycle braking power.
Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as
you may cause rear wheel lift-up and lose control of
the motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces,
braking will become less effective. Always use the
brakes very gently and carefully when riding under
these conditions. Any sudden maneuvers may lead
to loss of control. When tackling long, high-gradient
downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine
braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes
sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the time
would cause the friction material to overheat and
reduce braking power dangerously. Underinflated or
overinflated tires reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
