Riding Precautions

continued
Scooter 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.
❙
Brake System
Your scooter is equipped with a brake system
that distributes the braking force between the
front and rear brakes.
The distribution of the braking force applied to
the front and rear brakes when operating the
front brake lever only and when operating the
rear brake lever only is different.
For full braking effectiveness, operate both the
brake levers together.
❙
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
ABS helps 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 levers may recoil slightly when
applying the brakes. This is normal.
❙
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.
