Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.
Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces
and braking distances are longer.
Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
