3. Attempting to slow down by
using one brake alone is haz-
ardous, particularly braking
the front wheel alone. The
front wheel may slide out (front
wheel braking) or the rear
wheel might skid sidewise
(rear wheel braking).
4. Shift into NEUTRAL just
before the motorcycle stops.
WARNING
Inexperienced riders tend to
underutilize the front brake.
This can cause excessive stop-
ping distance and lead to a col-
lision. Using only the front or
rear brake can cause skidding
and loss of control.
Apply both brakes evenly and
at the same time.
WARNING
Hard braking while turning may
cause wheel skid and loss of
control.
Brake before you begin to turn.
WARNING
Hard braking on wet, loose,
rough, or other slippery sur-
faces can cause wheel skid
and loss of control.
Brake lightly and with care on
slippery or irregular surfaces.
