Brakes
Observe the following guidelines:
Avoid excessively hard braking and
●
downshifting.
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. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
●
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the
brakes from locking up during hard braking.
The ABS functions with information provided by
the IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit).
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
●
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
ABS does not function at speeds below 10
●
km/h (6 mph).
The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
●
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
Always use the recommended front/rear
●
tyres and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
