Braking
Basic Operation & Riding
Your motorcycle is equipped with a
hydraulically activated disc brake in front
and a mechanically activated drum brake
at the rear. Operating the brake lever
applies the front disc brake. Depressing
the brake pedal applies the rear drum
brake.
As a general rule, the front braking system
provides about 70 percent of total stopping
power.
To slow or stop, apply the brake lever and
brake pedal smoothly, while downshifting
to match your speed.
Gradually increase braking as you feel the
brakes slowing your speed. The increase
in engine compression from downshifting
will help slow your motorcycle.
To prevent stalling the engine, pull the
clutch lever in before coming to a
complete stop. For support, put your left
foot down first, then your right foot when
you have finished braking.
Applying the brakes too hard may cause
the wheels to lock and slide, reducing
control of your motorcycle. If this happens,
release the brake controls, steer straight
ahead until you regain control, then
reapply the brakes more gently.
For full braking effectiveness, use both
the lever and pedal simultaneously. Using
both braking systems will stop your
motorcycle faster with greater stability.
