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 brakes

After the motorcycle has

been washed, ridden

through water or ridden in

the rain, the brake discs and

pads might be wet and the

brakes might not take effect

immediately.

Apply the brakes in good time

until the brake discs and brake

pads have dried out.

Salt on brakes

The brakes may fail to take

effect immediately if the

motorcycle was ridden on salt-

covered roads and the brakes

were not applied for some time.

Apply the brakes in good time

until the salt layer on the brake

discs and brake pads has been

removed.

Oil or grease on brakes

Oil and grease on the brake

discs and pads considerably

diminish braking efficiency.

Especially after repair and main-

tenance work, make sure that the

brake discs and brake pads are

free of oil and grease.

Parking your

motorcycle

Placing motorcycle on

side stand

If the ground is soft or un-

even, there is no guaran-

tee that the motorcycle will rest

firmly on the stand.

Always check that the ground

under the stand is level and

firm.

Switch off the engine.

Pull the handbrake lever.

Hold the motorcycle upright

and balanced.

Use your left foot to extend the

side stand fully.

The side stand is designed

to support only the weight

of the motorcycle.

Do not lean or sit on the

motorcycle with the side stand

extended.
