Braking
When possible. reduce your speed or complete braking before
entering a tum. Avoid braking or closing the throttle quickly
while turning. Either action may cause one or both wheels to
slip and reduce your control of your motorcycle.
Your ability to brake in a tum and to brake hard in an
emergency situation are important riding skills. We suggest
attending a Motorcycle Safety Foundation experienced rider
training course (page 2) to retain these skills.
When riding in wet or raining conditions, or on loose surfaces,
the ability to maneuver and stop will
be
reduced. All of your
actions should be smooth under these conditions. Rapid
acceleration, braking, or turning may cause loss of control. For
your safety. exercise extreme camioo when braking,
accelerating, or turning.
When descending a long. steep grade. use engine compression
braking by downshifting, with intermittent use of both brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat the brakes and
reduce their effectiveness.
Riding with your foot resting on the brake pedal or your hand
on the brake lever may actuate the brakelight, giving a false
indication to other drivers. It may also overheat the brakes,
reducing effectiveness.
