1-9
• Slow down before entering corners. In
these situations, the traction available
between your tires and the road surface
is limited. When you’re leaned over in a
corner, avoid braking. Straighten up
before braking.
NOTE: After the motorcycle has been
washed or when it has traveled through pud-
dles, the brakes may grip poorly. If the
brakes grip poorly, travel at low speed while
paying sufficient attention to the front and
rear of the motorcycle, operating the brakes
lightly until they grip firmly.
Flooded road
Do not ride your motorcycle on flooded
roads.
If you must ride your motorcycle on a
flooded road, go slowly checking braking
operation. After riding on a flooded road, ask
your dealer to check for the following:
• Braking efficiency
• Wet connectors, wiring and water in the
battery box
• Poor lubrication for bearings etc.
• Level and appearance of engine oil (if oil
is whitish, there is water into the oil and
an oil change is required)
WARNING
Over braking when traction is limited will
cause your tires to skid, possibly result-
ing in loss of directional control or caus-
ing you and your motorcycle to fall over.
Brake carefully when traction is limited.
NOTICE
Riding the motorcycle on a flooded road
can cause the engine to stop running,
and can cause failure of electric parts,
drive belt slipping and engine damage.
Do not ride your motorcycle on flooded
roads.
