Warning
Although the system has a combined braking
feature (rear brake activation when using the front
brake only), using one brake control or the other
separately will decrease the motorcycle braking
efficiency.
Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as
you may cause the 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 manoeuvres 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 tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
