Braking - Honda CRF230F Manual Del Propietário

Braking

For normal braking, gradually apply both the front
and rear brakes while downshifting to suit your road
speed.
For maximum deceleration, close the throttle and
apply the front and rear brakes firmly. Pull in the clutch
lever before coming to a complete stop to prevent
stalling the engine.
Important safety reminders
Independent operation of only the brake lever or

brake pedal reduces stopping performance.
Extreme application of the brake controls may cause

wheel lock, reducing control of the motorcycle.
When possible, reduce speed or brake before

entering a turn; closing the throttle or braking in
mid-turn may cause wheel slip. Wheel slip will
reduce control of the motorcycle.
When riding in wet or rainy conditions, or on loose

surfaces, the ability to maneuver and stop will be
reduced. All of your actions should be smooth
under these conditions. Rapid acceleration, braking
or turning may cause loss of control. For your
safety, exercise extreme caution when braking,
accelerating or turning.
When descending a long, steep grade, use

engine compression braking by down-shifting,
with intermittent use of both brakes.
Continuous brake application can overheat the
brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
