Brake system

Descending mountain
passes
There is a danger of the
brakes fading if you use
only the rear brakes when de-
scending mountain passes.
Under extreme conditions, the
brakes could overheat and
suffer severe damage.
Use both front and rear
brakes, and make use of the
engine's braking effect as
well.
Wet brakes
After washing the
motorcycle, after driving
through water or in the rain,
braking can be delayed due
to damp brake disks and
brake pads.
Brake early until the brakes
are dry or braked until dry.
Salt on brakes
The full braking effect
can be delayed if the
motorcycle is ridden on salt-
covered roads and the brakes
are not applied for some time.
Brake early until the salt layer
of the brake disks and brake
pads has been braked off.
Oil or grease on brakes
Oil and grease on the
brake disks and pads
considerably diminish braking
efficiency.
Especially after repair and
maintenance tasks, make
sure that the brake disks and
brake pads are free of oil and
grease.
