Braking
• Slow down the speed in right time, shift down
the gear to use the engine brake, then apply both
the brakes.
• Pull the clutch lever before stopping the
motorcycle to avoid sudden stoppage of engine.
Stopping the motorcycle
• Reduce speed, close the throttle and down shift
the gears. Bring the transmission to neutral
position just before the vehicle stops.
• Apply the brakes and bring down the motorcycle
to complete stop.
• Turn OFF the ignition.
Parking
• Stop the motorcycle. Place it on the side stand on
a flat firm surface (ref. page 125).
• Turn the steering all the way to ‘left’ or ‘right’
and lock as explained in page 23. Take out the
control key from the ignition lock.
• If the vehicle is parked in a garage or other indoor
area, make sure that there is a proper ventilation
and the motorcycle is not nearer to a source of
heat.
Use both front and rear brake for effective braking.
When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking
capacity is significantly reduced. Always use the brakes
very gently and carefully when riding under these
conditions.
When riding downhill, shift down to the lower gears to
use engine as a brake.
Keeping the brake applied continuously causes the brake
pads (friction materials) to overheat and reduces the
braking effectiveness which is dangerous.
Caution
You may switch ON the hazard lamps if the vehicle is
parked in hazardous location. Refer page 25 for
hazard lamps function.
