HOW TO RIDE THE MOTORCYCLE
90
WARNING
Riding with your foot on the brake
pedal or your hands on the brake lever
may actuate the brake light, giving a
false indication to other road users.
It may also overheat the brake,
reducing braking effectiveness.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
WARNING
Do not coast with the engine switched
off, and do not tow the motorcycle.
The transmission is pressure
lubricated only when the engine is
running.
Inadequate lubrication may cause
damage or seizure of the transmission,
which may lead to loss of motorcycle
control which could result in serious
injury or death.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
WARNING
The ABS function attempts to
maximise the chances of keeping the
motorcycle under control when
braking. The potentially shorter
braking distances, ABS allows under
certain conditions, are not a
substitute for good riding practice.
Always ride within the legal speed
limit.
Never ride without due care and
attention and always reduce speed in
consideration of weather, road and
traffic conditions.
Under some circumstances it is
possible that a motorcycle equipped
with ABS may require a longer
stopping distance.
Take care when cornering. If the
brakes are applied in a corner, ABS will
not be able to counteract the weight
and momentum of the motorcycle.
Failure to follow the advice above may
lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
