the air filter element for clogging

place as necessary.

Operation in very dusty condi-

tions (desert, steppes, or the like)

necessitates the use of air filter

elements specially designed for

conditions of this nature.

Brakes

How can stopping

distance be minimised?

Each time the brakes are applied,

a load distribution shift takes

place with the load shifting for-

ward from the rear to the front

wheel. The sharper the motor-

cycle decelerates, the more load

is shifted to the front wheel. The

higher the wheel load, the more

braking force can be transmitted

without the wheel locking.

To optimise stopping distance,

apply the front brakes rapidly and

keep on increasing the force you

apply to the brake lever. This

makes the best possible use of

the dynamic increase in load at

the front wheel. Remember to

pull the clutch at the same time.

In the "panic braking situations"

that are trained so frequently

braking force is applied as rap-

idly as possible and with the

rider's full force applied to the

brake levers; under these circum-

stances the dynamic shift in load

distribution cannot keep pace

with the increase in deceleration

and the tyres cannot transmit the

full braking force to the surface

of the road.

vents the front wheel from lock-

ing up.

Descending mountain

passes

There is a danger of the

brakes fading if you use

only the rear brakes when des-

cending mountain passes. Under

extreme conditions, the brakes

could overheat and suffer severe

damage.

Use both front and rear brakes,

and make use of the engine's

braking effect as well.

Wet and dirty brakes

Wetness and dirt on the brake

discs and the brake pads dimin-

ish braking efficiency.

Delayed braking action or poor

braking efficiency must be

reckoned with in the following

situations:

Riding in the rain or through

puddles of water.

After the vehicle has been

washed.
