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 VARIATOR TO OVERHEAT.
CAUTION
BEFORE GETTING INTO A TURN, REDUCE SPEED OR BRAKE; WHILE BEND-
ING, RIDE AT THE SAME MODERATE AND CONSTANT SPEED OR SLIGHTLY
ACCELERATE; DO NOT BRAKE IN EXCESS: THERE IS HIGH RISK OF SKID-
DING.
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.
WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW, ICE, MUD,
ETC.) AT A MODERATE SPEED AVOIDING SUDDEN BRAKING OR MANOEU-
VRES 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.
CAUTION
ALWAYS SIGNAL CHANGES IN DIRECTION WITH THE APPROPRIATE DEVICES
AND WELL IN ADVANCE, AVOID ABRUPT AND DANGEROUS MANOEUVRES.
TURN OFF THE DEVICES IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CHANGE IN DIRECTION.
WHEN OVERTAKING OR BEING OVERTAKEN BY OTHER VEHICLES RIDE WITH
EXTREME CAUTION. WHEN IT RAINS, SPRAY CAUSED BY LARGE VEHICLES
REDUCES VISIBILITY; AIR SHIFTS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL ON YOUR
MOTORCYCLE.
