Proper Riding Method
85
Foot brake
1. Before using the brake, release Throttle Grip first to a
full close.
2. Grip both the front and rear brake levers at the same
time and exert force gradually to activate the brake.
3. The foot brake acts as the auxiliary brake for the front
/ rear brake linkage. Please apply gradual braking
force according to the road conditions, and do not
apply hard braking to avoid dangers.
Braking on a wet or sandy road requires a longer
effective braking distance and is more difficult.
Slow down while running on mountain roads; it will be
more difficult to brake while running down-slope, more
dangerous as well.
Do not brake or turn abruptly.
Abrupt braking and turning are the causes for the
extremely dangerous side skidding or tumbling.
If you lack confidence about the operations of this
vehicle, please proceed slowly to practice and
familiarize yourself with the braking system.
During rainy days, special care should be used when
operating the motorcycle as the road surface condition
during rain is different from that of sunny days. Because
a longer braking distance will be required, reduce speed
and use the brake at an earlier stage.
When running down-slope, return Throttle Grip to closed
position and apply brake intermittently to slow down the
speed.
