BrakesObserve the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and
downshifting.u Sudden braking can reduce the
motorcycle's stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before
turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u The tires slip more easily on suchsurfaces and braking distances arelonger.
● Avoid continuous braking.u Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes canseriously overheat the brakes, reducingtheir effectiveness. Use engine brakingwith intermittent use of the brakes toreduce speed.
● For full braking effectiveness, operate boththe front and rear brakes together.
# Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)This model is equipped with an Anti-lock BrakeSystem (ABS) designed to help prevent thebrakes from locking up during hard braking.● ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in alonger stopping distance.
● ABS does not function at speeds below 6mph (10 km/h).
● The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightlywhen applying the brakes. This is normal.
● Always use the recommended front/reartires and sprockets to ensure correct ABSoperation.

# Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycledown when you release the throttle. For furtherslowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Useengine braking with intermittent use of thebrakes to reduce speed when descending long,steep slopes.
# Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wetbrakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wetconditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes whileriding at low speed to help them dry.
Parking● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose
surface, park so that the motorcycle cannotmove or fall over.
● Make sure that high-temperature partscannot come into contact with flammablematerials.
● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakesand other high-temperature parts until theycool down.
● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lockthe handlebar and remove the key whenleaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is alsorecommended.

Using the center standTo lower the center stand, stand on the leftside of the motorcycle. Hold the left handlegrip and the left grab rail. Press down on thetip of the center stand with your right footand, simultaneously, pull up and back.
3. Turn the handlebar fully to the left.u Turning the handlebar to the right
reduces stability and may cause themotorcycle to fall.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCKposition and remove the key. 2 P. 34
Refueling and Fuel GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to protect the engine,fuel system and catalytic converter:● Use only unleaded gasoline.● Use recommended octane number. Using
lower octane gasoline will result indecreased engine performance.
● Do not use fuels containing a highconcentration of alcohol. 2 P. 127
