RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 89
Warning
Danger of accidentsDelayed brake action on salted roads.
Salt can be deposited on the brake discs. To achieve the normal braking effect, the brake discs must first be cleaned by brak-
ing.
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.
Make sure you complete braking before going into a bend. Change down to a lower gear corresponding to your 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
then do not need to brake so much, and the brakes do not overheat.
