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.

Dirt or mud on brakes

When riding on loose sur-

faces or muddy roads, the

brakes may fail to take effect

immediately because of dirt or

moisture on the discs or brake

pads.

Apply the brakes in good time

until the brakes have been

cleaned.

The brake pads will wear

more rapidly if you ride fre-

quently on unsurfaced tracks or

poor roads.

Check the thickness of the brake

pads more frequently and replace

the brake pads in good time.

Refuelling

Fuel is highly flammable. A

naked flame close to the

fuel tank can cause a fire or ex-

plosion.

Do not smoke. Never bring a

naked flame near the fuel tank.

Fuel expands when hot.

Fuel escaping from an

overfilled tank could make its way

onto the road surface. This could

cause a fall.

Do not overfill the fuel tank.

Fuel attacks plastics, which

become dull or unsightly.

Wipe off plastic parts immediately

if they come into contact with

fuel.

Fuel can attack the material

of the windscreen, which

becomes dull or unsightly.

Wipe off the windscreen immedi-

ately if it comes into contact with

fuel.

Leaded fuel will destroy the

catalytic converter.

Use only unleaded fuel.

Make sure the ground is level

and firm and place the motor-

cycle on its stand.
