RIDING THE VEHICLE
If you do get into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the handlebar in
the direction of the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes
and lock the wheels.

Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs when
braking.
Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response.
– Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed.
– Practice braking in straight line at different speeds and different
braking force.
– Practice emergency braking; optimal braking is obtained in straight
line, with high force applied, without locking the wheels.
Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the
type of surface. Also, the tires and brakes conditions play a major role.
N N O O T T E E : :
If going forward the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels
when braking. To obtain greater stopping efficiency, the brake system
distributes more braking force to the front wheels. This will affect ve-
hicle handling and steering control when braking vigorously. Take it in-
to account when braking.

When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is
free of people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.
