APRILIA SR 50 2018 Manual page 49

IN CASE OF STOP IN ASCENT, FULLY DECELERATE AND ONLY USE THE
BRAKES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STOPPED. USING THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE
VEHICLE STOPPED MAY CAUSE THE CLUTCH AND THE VARIATOR TO OVER-
HEAT.
BEFORE GETTING INTO A BEND, REDUCE SPEED AND BRAKE; WHILE BEND-
ING, RIDE AT THE SAME MODERATE AND CONSTANT SPEED OR SLIGHTLY
ACCELERATE; DO NOT BRAKE IN EXCESS: THERE IS VERY HIGH RISK OF
SKIDDING.
BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHILE GOING DOWNHILL MAY RESULT IN FRIC-
TION GASKET OVERHEATING AND CONSEQUENTLY IN POOR BRAKING.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ENGINE COMPRESSION USING THE BRAKES AL-
TERNATIVELY.
WHEN GOING DOWNHILL NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE OFF.
CAUTION
WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW, ICE, MUD,
ETC.) AT A MODERATE SPEED, AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING OR MANOEUVRES
THAT MAY LEAD TO LACK OF GRIP AND CONSEQUENTLY TO FALLS.
PAY ATTENTION TO OBSTACLES ON OR VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD SUR-
FACE.
UNEVEN ROADS, RUTS, DRAINS, TRAFFIC SIGNS PAINTED ON THE ROADS,
PIPEWORK METAL SHEETS MAY BECOME SLIPPERY WHEN IT RAINS. CROSS
OVER THEM WITH EXTREME CAUTION, RIDE CAREFULLY AND INCLINE THE
MOTORCYCLE THE LEAST POSSIBLE.
