Stopping And Parking - Suzuki GD115 Manual Del Propietário

GD115 99011-36H51-01D
WARNING
Downshifting when engine revs are too high can:
Cause the rear wheel to skid and lose traction due
to increased engine braking, resulting in an
accident; or
Force the engine to over rev in the low gear,
resulting in engine damage.
Downshifting while the motorcycle is leaned over
in a corner may cause rear wheel skid and result
in loss of control.
CAUTION
No matter which gear is chosen, never make the
engine rev too high, never use half clutch or have
the motorcycle slide, otherwise internal parts of
the engine tend to become damaged.
RIDING ON HILLS
• When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may begin
to slow down and show reduced power. At this point
you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will
again be operating in its normal power range. Shift
rapidly to prevent the
momentum.
• When descending a long, steep slope, use engine
compression to assist the brakes by shifting to a lower
gear. Continuous brake application can overheat the
brakes and reduce their effectiveness.

• Be careful, however, not to allow the engine to over-
rev.

STOPPING AND PARKING

1. Twist the throttle grip away from you to close the
throttle completely.
2. Apply the front and rear brakes evenly and at the
same time.
3. Downshift through the gears as road speed decreases.
4. Select neutral with the clutch lever grasped toward the
grip (disengaged position) just before the motorcycle
stops. The neutral position can be confirmed by
observing the neutral indicator N.
5. Park the motorcycle on a firm, flat surface where it will
not fall over.
6. Turn the key to the "%" position.
7. Turn the handlebars all the way to the left and lock the
steering for security.
8. Remove the key.
Inexperienced riders tend to underutilize the front
brake. This can
distance and lead to a collision. Using only the
front or rear brake can cause skidding and loss of
control. Apply both brakes evenly and at the same
time.
