Brake Lever Lock; Transmission Lever - BOMBARDIER 650 Operator's Manual

NOTE:
Using the rear brake will have
also an effect on front wheels because
they are interconnected through the
drive train. As on other wheeled vehi-
cles, 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 af-
fect vehicle handling and steering con-
trol when braking vigorously. Take it
into account when braking.
