Riding Precautions

Motorcycle Safety
● 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. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
❙
Combined ABS (NC700XA/XD only)
Your motorcycle’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
lever and pedal together.
This model is also equipped with an Anti-lock
Brake System (ABS) designed to help prevent
the brakes from locking up during hard braking.
Always use the recommended tires to ensure
correct ABS operation.
● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below 6
mph (10 km/h).
● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
