Stopping The Engine - MOTO GUZZI V85 TT Use And Maintenance Manual

OPERATE THE FRONT OR THE REAR BRAKE ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES
THE BRAKING FORCE OF THE VEHICLE.
WHEN STOPPING UPHILL, DECELERATE COMPLETELY AND ONLY USE THE
BRAKES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION.
USING THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED COULD CAUSE
THE CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT. BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHEN DRIVING
DOWNHILL COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PADS TO OVERHEAT, WHICH RE-
DUCES BRAKING AND LIMITS BRAKING POWER.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE ENGINE COMPRESSION, DOWNSHIFTING
AND USING BOTH BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY.
WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.
WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR SURFACES WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW,
ICE, MUD, ETC.) USE MODERATE SPEED, AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING OR MA-
NOEUVRES THAT MAY CAUSE TO A LOSS OF TRACTION AND POSSIBLY TO
A FALL OR CRASH.
