When approaching a turn, slow down or
brake and take the turn at a moderate,
constant speed or accelerate slightly;
braking in a turn will greatly increase
your chances of skidding.
Continued application of the brakes on
long downhill grades may cause the
brakes to overheat, thereby reducing
braking efficiency. Shift down to use
engine braking and apply both brakes
intermittently.
Never ride downhill with the engine off!
If the road surface is wet or slippery
(snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly, do
not brake or swerve suddenly, or you
may lose grip and fall.
WARNING
Watch out for obstacles or sudden
changes in the road surface.
Rough roads, rails, manhole covers,
road markings, large steel plates near
roadwork become slippery in the wet
and should be avoided or negotiated
with the greatest care, riding carefully
and keeping the vehicle upright.
Signal your intention to change lane or
turn in good time using the turn
indicators and avoid sudden swerving
or movements.
Switch off the turn indicators as soon
as you have finished turning.
Be extremely careful when passing or
being passed.
When riding in the rain, the spray
thrown up by the tires of large vehicles
will reduce your vision; the air wave
created by a large vehicle may make
you lose control of the vehicle.
RUNNING-IN
Correct engine running-is essential to
ensuring proper performance and
durability.
Twisty, hilly roads are ideal for an effective
running-in of engine, suspension and
brakes.
Vary speed frequently during the running-
in period.
This will allow engine parts to be
alternately loaded and unloaded, allowing
them to cool down when unloaded.
NOTE During the initial period of use,
the clutch might give off a slight burning
smell. This is perfectly normal, it will no
longer smell as soon as the clutch plates
run in.
While it is important to put some stress on
engine components during running-in, it is
equally important to avoid extreme load
conditions.
NOTE From 1250 mi (2000 km) onward,
the engine is ready to provide top
performance.
Follow these recommendations:
u Do not flip the throttle open abruptly with
the engine running at low rpm - either
during or after the running-in period.
u Until you have covered the first 62 mi
(100 km), use the brakes gently and
avoid harsh, prolonged braking. This will
help the brake pads bed in properly
against the brake disks.
