8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 125
Warning
Danger of accidentsDelayed brake action on salted roads.
There may be salt deposits on the brake discs. In order to restore the normal braking efficiency, you will need to remove the
deposits from the discs by carefully applying the brakes.
When braking, first throttle back and then apply the front and rear brakes at the same time.
On wet or slippery surfaces, mainly use the rear brake.
Braking should always be completed before you enter a bend. Shift down to a lower gear that is appropriate to the vehicle speed.
On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Do this by changing down two gears, but do not race the engine. You
will require less braking force and the brakes will not overheat.
