Braking :
• Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged (except where shifting gears)
so that the engine braking will help slow
down the motorcycle.
• Shift down one gear at a time so that you
are in Neutral when you come to a complete
stop.
• When stopping, always apply both brakes at
the same time. De-clutch as necessary to
avoid engine stalling.
• Never lock the brakes, or it will cause the
tyres to skid. When cornering, use brakes
judiciously & do not de-clutch. Reduce your
speed before you get into the corner. For
emergency braking, disregard downshifting,
and concentrate on applying brakes as hard
as possible without skidding.

Warning : When shifting down to lower
gear, do not shift at such high speed that
engine rpm jumps excessively. This may
cause engine damage, & rear wheel may
skid. Downshifting should be done at
recommended speeds as shown in table.
