of the motorcy-
cle.
.
When

tlrake before entering
a
turn;
closing the throttle or braking in
mid-turn may cause wheel slip.

When
riding in wet or rainy condi-
tions, or on loose surfaces, the
ability to
maneuver and stop will
be reduced. All of
your
actions
should be smooth under these
conditions.
Rapid acceleration,
braking or turning may cause
loss
of control. For
your
safety,
exer-
cise extreme caution when
braking, accelerating or turning.
*
When descending
a long, steep
grade,
use
engine compression
braking by downshifting, with
intermittent use of both brakes.
Continuous
brake application can
overheat the brakes and
reduce
their effectiveness.
*
Riding with
your
foot resting on
the brake
pedal
or
your
hands
on
the brake lever
may
actuate
the
brakelight,
giving
a false
indication to other drivers.
It may
also overheat the
brake, reducing
effectiveness.
