WARNING
Do not apply brake strongly enough to lock the wheel. A locked wheel will skid and can cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00053a)
This vehicle employs linked brakes meaning both front and rear brakes are applied when the rear brake pedal is operated. The rear brake pedal is located on the motorcycle's right side. Operate the rear brake pedal with the right foot.
The front brake lever will apply additional braking to the front wheel only. The front brake hand lever is located on the right handlebar. Operate the hand lever with the fingers of the right hand.
WARNING
Do not position fingers between hand control lever and handlebar grip. Improper hand positioning can impair control lever operation and cause loss of vehicle control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00032a)
Brakes should be applied uniformly and evenly to prevent wheels from locking up. A balance between rear and front braking is generally best.
