Attention Using the two brake controls separately reduces the motorcycle braking power. Never use the brake controls harshly or suddenly as you may cause rear wheel lift-up and lose control of the motorcycle. When riding in the rain or on slippery surfaces, braking will become less effective. Always use the brakes very gently and carefully when riding under these conditions. Any sudden maneuvers may lead to loss of control. When tackling long, highgradient downhill road tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping the brakes applied all the time would cause the friction material to overheat and reduce braking power dangerously. Underinflated or overinflated tires reduce braking efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend. 90
