Braking
Braking
The front brake and rear brake are op er at ed
independently from each other.
The front brake is operated via the right-
hand brake lever (1) on the han dle bars, and
the rear brake is operated via the left-hand
brake lever (2).
When stopping or slowing down, re lease
the throttle gas and operate
both
brakes
at the same time.
On tight curves, sandy / dirty streets, wet
asphalt and icy roads, use the front brake
carefully: if the front wheel locks, the bike
will slide sideways.
Brake with care. Locked wheels do not have
much braking effect and can lead to skid-
ding / crashing. In prin ci ple, do not brake
on a curve, but before the curve.
Braking on a curve increases the dan ger
of sliding.
SAFETY TEST
WARNING
If the motorcycle is not used for a while,
a rust fi lm may form on the brakes and
thus increase the braking effect. A thick
rust fi lm can cause the brakes to lock
up.
When setting out on a ride after a long
lay-up period, carefully operate the
brakes several times until they work
normally.
NOTE
Make sure you practice braking for emer-
gen cy situations, but do so where you will
not pose a risk to yourself or others (e.g. a
deserted parking area).
