Application Of The Brake And Stop - Qlink XF200 User Manual

USER'S MANUAL
.
Rest your feet on the footrests. Never let both hands leave the handlebars at the same time.
Because the tire friction becomes low on wet and smooth surface, the braking and turning abilities decrease
naturally. Slow down your motorcycle in such case.
Observe the traffic marks and regulations and control speeds.

Application of the Brake and Stop

Release the throttle grip clockwise to close the throttle completely.
Apply both the front and rear brakes evenly.
Decrease the speed by shifting the gear.
Before the motorcycle stops, grip the clutch lever and shift to the neutral gear so as to stop. Observe the neutral
indicator to confirm the neutral gear.
WARNING
As the speed is high, the braking distance will be longer accordingly. Correctly judge the distance from the
vehicles ahead. The distance should be at least enough for you to brake the motorcycle.
Less-experienced rider tends to use the rear brake only. It will speed up the wearing of the rear brake and make
the braking distance longer.
To use the front or rear brake only may cause loss of control and slippery, and therefore is dangerous. Care
should be taken when riding on a wet or slippery road and at a curving road. In such cases, use the brakes gently.
Hurried braking on a slippery or uneven road is especially dangerous.
