Do not shift gears without operating clutch
and without closing the throttle otherwise this
would lead to damage of gears.
CAUTION
î For normal braking, close the throttle and
gradually apply both front and rear brake
together while shifting down gears to suit
your road speed.
î For sudden deceleration/quick stopping,
close the throttle and apply the front and
rear brakes simultaneously.
BRAKING
î Extreme braking may cause wheel locking
and reduce control over the motorcycle.
î Independent use of only the front or rear
brake increases stopping distance.
î 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 motorcycle.
