9 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS
–
To brake release the throttle and apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
–
Always finish braking before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road
speed.
–
Use the braking effect of the engine on long downhill stretches. Change down one or two gears, but do not
over-rev the engine. You will have to apply the brakes far less frequently as a result and the brake system
will not overheat.

Warning
Danger of accidents The brake system fails in the event of overheating.
If the foot brake lever is not released, the brake linings drag continuously.
–
Take your foot off the foot brake lever if you do not want to brake.
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.
–

Warning
Danger of accidents The rear wheel can lock due to the engine braking effect.
–
Pull in the clutch, if you perform emergency or full braking, or if you brake on a slippery ground.
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 the danger of the wheels locking.
Warning
Danger of accidents Banked or laterally sloping ground reduces the maximum possible delay.
–
If possible finish braking before going into a bend.
