Warning
Use both brake lever and pedal for effective
braking.
Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as
you may lock the wheels and lose control of the
motorcycle.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces,
braking will become less effective. Always use the
brakes very gently and carefully when riding under
these conditions. Any sudden manoeuvres may lead
to loss of control. When tackling long, high-gradient
downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine
braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes
sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the time
would cause the friction material to overheat and
reduce braking power dangerously. Underinflated or
overinflated tyres reduce braking efficiency, handling
accuracy and stability in a bend.
