Use The Brakes And Parking - Skyteam ST50-8 Operation Instruction Manual

Before starting off you must put the side stand back to its upper position. Don't let it hang.
DVRIVE ON A SLOPE
When climbing up a slope, the motorcycle may begin to decelerate and appear lack of power. You should
change the gear shift to low speed positions, allowing the engine to run in normal power range. But the
shift change should be quick to prevent the motorcycle loss the potential to move forward.
When going down a slope, you should gear down your engine to make it easy to break your motorcycle.
Don't run your engine excessively.
USE THE BRAKE AND PARKING
Twist the throttle grip away from yourself to close the throttle completely.
Apply the front and rear brakes evenly and at the same time.
An inexperienced rider would only use the rear brake, which could speed up the wear of the
brake and make the braking distance longer.
It's dangerous to use the front or rear brake only. It can cause skidding and loss of control.
When driving on wet and slippery roads or turning a corner, be extremely careful and brake
slowly. Braking abruptly on a slipery or rough road is particularly dangerous.

The higher the speed is the longer the braking distance is required. Be sure to keep distance
between you and the vehicles or objects in front of you.
Pulling in the clutch lever and letting the linkage gear in the transmission disconnected, reduce the
motorcycle speed and shift the gear into neutral, until full brake.
Before you stop the motorcycle, change the gear to neutral position. See the neutral indicator light to
ensure the gear is in the neutral position.
The motorcycle should be parked on a solid and plain ground.
If your motorcycle has to be parked by the side stand on a slope, you'd better get your motorcycle
engaged in the first gear to prevent sliding. Return the gear shift to the neutral prior to starting the
engine.
Turn the ignition switch to "OFF" to shut down the engine.
Take the ignition key out the switch.
Turn the fuel lever to "OFF".
Lock the steering lock.
