Warning
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 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
and overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency,
handling accuracy and stability in a bend.
