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.
Failure to follow the advice above
could result in serious injury or death.
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.
Triumph strongly recommends that all
riders take a course of instruction,
which includes advice on safe brake
operation. Incorrect brake technique
may lead to loss of motorcycle control
which could result in serious injury or
death.
