How to Ride Your Bike
Braking :
• Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged (except where shifting gears)
so that the engine braking will help slow
down the motorcycle.
• Shift down one gear at a time so that you
are in Neutral when you come to a complete
stop condition.
• When stopping, always apply both brakes at
the same time. De-clutch as necessary to
avoid engine stalling.
Warning : When shifting down to lower gear,
do not shift at such high speed that engine
rpm rises excessively. This may cause engine
d a m a g e , a n d r ea r w h e e l m ay s k i d.
