future reliability and performance.
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
●
acceleration.
Avoid hard braking.
●
Ride conservatively.
●
Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking.
●
Sudden braking can reduce the vehicle's
u
stability.
Where possible, reduce speed before
u
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
●
The tyres slip more easily on such
u
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
Avoid continuous braking.
●
Repeated braking, such as when
u
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
●
the front and rear brakes together.
