Safe Riding Practices
• To maximize braking effectiveness, use the front and rear brakes together. Improper
braking may cause loss of control or may not slow the vehicle in time to avoid a collision.
Be aware of the following braking facts and practices:
- The rear brake provides 40% of the motorcycle’s stopping power, at most.
- Consider road conditions before applying the brakes. When the road is wet
or rough or contains loose or other slippery substances, apply the brakes
gradually.
- Bring the motorcycle to the upright position before applying the brakes, and
avoid applying the brakes in a corner if at all possible. When the motorcycle
is leaning through a corner, the amount of traction available for braking is
reduced, increasing the possibility of the tires skidding when the brakes
are applied.
