Reduce your speed and be alert to side winds. 46 OPERATING THE BRAKE Apply the front and rear brakes at the same time. WARNING When you need to brake, close the throttle and use both brakes for smooth braking : take care to apply the right amount of pressure to both brakes. Using one brake only gives less braking power and you could lock a wheel and lose grip. To stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes to keep the motorcycle at standstill. REAR BRAKE FRONT BRAKE Grip the brake lever right after returning the throttle grip. Make the speed lower by operating the brake slowly. The quick brake can cause skidding. WARNING Using either front or rear brake is dangerous and can cause skidding and loss of control. WARNING When approaching a turn, slow down or brake and take the turn at moderate, constant speed or accelerate slightly : braking in a turn will greatly increase your chances of skidding. Continued application of the brakes on long downhill grades may cause the brakes to overheat, thereby reducing brake efficiency. Never ride downhill with engine off! 47 Pay much more attention to driving when rains or snows. When the brake doesn't work normally, keep low speeds and apply the brake lightly until smoothly operated. WARNING Signal your intention to change lane or turn in good time using the direction indicators and avoid sudden swerving or movements. Switch off the direction indicators as soon as you have finished turning. Be extremely careful when overtaking or being overtaken. When riding in the rain, the spray thrown up by the tires of large vehicles will reduce your vision ; the air wave created by a large vehicle may make you lose control of the motorcycle. WARNING If the road surface is wet or slippery (snow, ice, mud, etc. ), ride slowly, do not brake or swerve suddenly, or you may lose grip and fall. Watch out for obstacles or sudden changes in the road surface.
