The controls should be used correctly and timely:
when riding uphill do not hesitate to down as
soon as the motorcycle tends to slow down, so you
will avoid stressing the engine and the motorcycle
abnormally.
Avoid harsh acceleration, as this may lead to
misfiring and transmission snatching. The clutch
lever should not be held in longer than necessary
a gear is engaged, otherwise friction may
overheat and wear out.
Prolonged wheelies could deactivate the ABS
system.
The engine control unit disables the 2 rear bank
cylinders when engine is idling and the
twistgrip is fully released. This disabling is only
implemented when some conditions are verified and
namely depending on the engine temperature, gear
engaged and clutch lever position (that must be
completely pulled unless gear is in Neutral). This
strategy ensures advantages in terms of fuel
economy and rider's because of less heat.
Braking
Slow down in time, down to use engine brake
and then brake by operating both front and rear
brakes. Pull the clutch before the motorcycle stops
to avoid engine from suddenly stalling.
