OPERATION
Operation
Braking
To slow the motorcycle with the brakes, close the throttle and apply the front and rear
brakes evenly. As the motorcycle slows, either disengage the clutch or downshift each
time your speed reaches a downshift point. Applying slightly more front brake than rear
brake generally gives you the best braking performance. Do not apply the brakes so
forcefully or quickly that either wheel stops rotating. Leave sufficient distance so you can
apply the brakes gradually if you need to stop
.
WARNING
• Do not apply either brake so strongly that the wheel stops rotating. This can cause loss
of control.
• Braking hard on wet, rough, loose, or slippery surfaces can cause the motorcycle to skid,
and you could lose control of the motorcycle. Apply the brakes lightly on such surfaces.
• Braking while in a curve can cause loss of control. Bring the motorcycle to the upright
position before applying the brakes, and avoid applying the brakes in a corner if at all
possible.
