MAJOR COMPONENTS
(Information you need to operate this
vehicle)
BRAKES (INTEGRATED BRAKING)
WARNING
!!
•
Independent use of only the front or rear
brake increases stopping distance.
•
Extreme braking may cause wheel locking
and reduce control over the vehicle.
•
Wherever possible, reduce speed or apply
brake before entering a turn, closing the
throttle or braking in mid turn may cause
wheel slip. Wheel slip will reduce control
over the vehicle.
•
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on
loose surfaces the ability to stop the vehicle
reduces.
•
All your actions should be smooth under
these conditions. Sudden acceleration,
braking or turning may cause loss of control.
For your safety, exercise extreme caution
when braking, accelerating or turning.
Brake fluid recommended: DoT 3 or DoT 4
Fluid level: Ensure that the brake fluid level
does not fall below “MIN” mark (2) on the
master cylinder, when checked with the
master cylinder parallel to the ground.
The level decreases gradually due to piston
movement to compensate pad wear. If the
level decreases abruptly, check for leakage in
the brake system and contact your Authorised
Hero MotoCorp workshop.
