Riding Precautions
#
Engine Braking
Engine braking helps slow your vehicle down
when you release the throttle. For further slowing
action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine
braking with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed when descending long, steep
slopes.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.

Parking
Park on a firm, level surface.
●
If you must park on a slight incline or loose
●
surface, park so that the vehicle cannot move
or fall over.
Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot
●
come into contact with flammable materials.
Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and
●
other high-temperature parts until they cool
down.
To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock
●
the handlebar and remove the key when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Use of an anti-theft device is also
recommended.
