Riding Precautions
During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running,
follow these guidelines to ensure your
motorcycle’s future reliability and performance.
●
Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid
acceleration.
●
Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
●
Ride conservatively.
Observe the following guidelines:
●
Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.
uSudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle’s stability.
uWhere possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.
●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
uThe tires slip more easily on such surfaces
and braking distances are longer.
●
Avoid continuous braking.
uRepeated 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.
