Salt on brakes

The full braking effect

can be delayed if the

motorcycle is ridden on salt-

covered roads and the brakes

are not applied for some time.

Brake early until the salt layer

of the brake disks and brake

pads has been braked off.

Oil or grease on brakes

Oil and grease on the

brake disks and pads

considerably diminish braking

efficiency.

Especially after repair and

maintenance tasks, make

sure that the brake disks and

brake pads are free of oil and

grease.

Dirt or mud on brakes

When the motorcycle

is ridden on loose sur-

faces or muddy roads, the

brakes may fail to take effect

immediately because of dirt

or moisture on the disks or

brake pads.

Brake early until the brakes

are braked clean.

Driving on unpaved or

dirty roads leads to in-

creased brake pad wear.

Check the brake pad thick-

ness more often and replace

the brake pads sooner.

How does ABS work?

The maximum braking force

that can be transferred to

the road surface is partial-

ly dependent on the friction

coefficient of the road sur-

face. Gravel, ice, snow and

wet roads offer a consider-

ably poorer friction coefficient

than a dry, clean asphalt sur-

face. The poorer the friction

coefficient of the road surface

is, the longer the braking dis-

tance will be.

If the maximum transferrable

braking force is exceeded

when the driver increases the

brake pressure, the wheels

begin to block and driving

stability is lost, and a fall can

result. Before this situation

occurs, ABS intervenes and
