How to Ride the Motorcycle
Braking
1. Front brake lever
1. Rear brake pedal
Warning
WHEN BRAKING, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Close the throttle completely, leaving the
clutch engaged to allow the engine to help
slow down the motorcycle.
Change down one gear at a time such that
the transmission is in first gear when the
motorcycle comes to a complete stop.
When stopping, always apply both brakes
at the same time. Normally the front brake
should be applied a little more than the
rear.
Change down or fully disengage the clutch
as necessary to keep the engine from
stalling.
Never lock the brakes, as this may cause
loss of control of the motorcycle and an
accident.

Warning
For emergency braking, disregard down
changing, and concentrate on applying the
front and rear brakes as hard as possible
without skidding. Riders should practice
emergency braking in a traffic-free area.
(See ABS warnings below/over.)
Triumph strongly recommends that all
riders take a course of instruction, which
includes advice on safe brake operation.
Incorrect brake technique could result in
loss of control and an accident.
