RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
Danger of accidents Higher total weight increases the stopping distance.
Take the longer stopping distance into account when carrying a passenger or luggage with you.
Warning
Danger of accidents Salt on the roads impairs the brake system.
Brake carefully several times to remove salt from the brake linings and the brake discs.
Warning
Danger of accidents ABS may increase the stopping distance in certain situations.
Adjust application of the brakes to the respective riding situation and riding surface conditions.
Warning
Danger of accidents Excessively forceful application of the brakes blocks the wheels.
The ABS effectiveness is only ensured if it is switched on.
Leave the ABS switched on in order to benefit from the protective effect.
Warning
Danger of accidents Driving aids can only prevent a rollover within the physical limitations.
It is not always possible to compensate for extreme riding situations, for example with luggage loaded with a high center of gravity,
varying road surfaces, steep descents or full braking without disengaging the gear.
Adapt your riding style to the road conditions and your driving ability.
When braking, release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
Info
When the ABS is enabled, you can achieve maximum braking power even on low grip surfaces such as sandy, wet, or slippery
terrain without locking of the wheels.
