●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u
The tires slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
●
Avoid continuous braking.
u
Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness.
●
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Combined Braking System (CBS)
Your vehicle's rear brake system is linked to the
front brake. This means that operating the rear
brake pedal applies the rear brake and a
portion of the front brake.
Operating the front brake lever applies only the
front brake.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
front and rear brakes together.
#
Wet or Rainy Conditions
Road surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet
brakes further reduce braking efficiency.
Exercise extra caution when braking in wet
conditions.
If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while
riding at low speed to help them dry.
