8 RIDING INSTRUCTIONS 52
Warning
Danger of accidents Delayed 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.
– To brake, release the throttle and operate the front and rear brakes simultaneously.
– On sandy, wet or slippery surfaces, use the rear brake.
– Braking should always be completed before you go into a bend. Change down to a lower gear appropriate to your road speed.
– On long downhill stretches, use the braking effect of the engine. Change down one or two gears, but do not overrev the engine. As a
result, you will have to apply the brakes far less frequently and the brake system will not overheat.
